Sharing the WiFi: A Controversy

Glenn Fleischman responds to my citing of David Isenberg‘s article about DeWayne Hendricks’ concern about the messiness of sharing The Spectrum. The question is whether we’re headed towards a “tragedy of the commons” where overuse of wireless connectivity makes it useless to everyone. Glenn, who knows this stuff cold, says that the market will work this out and that Hendricks’ proposals will be unnecessary (and are possibly self-serving).

This is sufficiently over my head that I default to believing the smart people I like personally. And if Glenn and Isenberg disagree, I will simply refuse to believe anything ever again.
