Open Spectrum

Open Spectrum is a concept that promotes making certain portions of wireless frequency bands freely accessible to the public without exclusive licenses. This approach allows anyone—individuals, companies, or innovators—to use these frequencies for various applications without needing government approval or paying fees. The goal is to foster innovation, increase competition, and expand access to wireless technologies by reducing restrictions and encouraging shared use of spectrum resources, much like open-access Wi-Fi hotspots. It balances the efficient use of spectrum with the potential for new services by creating more opportunities for diverse and creative wireless solutions.
