Rethinking Spectrum Policy: A Fiber Intensive Wireless Architecture is the volume resulting from the 2009 Aspen Institute Roundtable on Spectrum Policy. The report captures the insights of the participants, exploring innovative ways to respond to the projections of exponential growth in the demand for wireless services and additional spectrum. In addition to discussing spectrum reallocations, improved receivers, shared use and secondary markets as important components for meeting demand, the report also examines opportunities for changes in network architecture, such as shifting the mix between fiber and wireless.
