Ultra Wideband solutions would thrive in this situation, as it is not generally affected by RF interference.

That would be a good thing by the way, as Ultra Wideband will enable us to get several orders of magnitude more bandwidth out of the current RF spectrum without interfering with existing RF devices. But sadly the FCC is paranoid and restricted UWB's power output to one thousand times lower than expected. Still enough for WiFi-like ranges (See Pulse-Link), but not for longer range devices.

The Business Week article is basically prescribing chaos as the antidote to FCC incompetence.

No, the writer proposes a marketplace as an antidote to central planning.

An analogy would be land use. The US has developed with a relatively free market in land ownership and some restrictions on use--with retained government ownership for things like roads and parks.

A similar approach would put the FCC more in the position of a zoning administrator and title registry--worrying less about the perceived "public benefit" of the specific ownership and use of a particular slice of property/spectrum than about whether the use fits into broad guidelines established (possibly commercial/personal/government/unregulated--or some other category-based approach.)

There are pluses and minuses to this approach--I don't feel strongly one way or the other, but I agree the result of present practices is far less than optimal.

Sure the FCC is doing a pretty poor job, but this article is prescribing a solution where no one decides what radio spectrum can be used and what that use may mean for massive interference across the country.
