An EE Times article reports that industry interests are casting covetous eyes on the Amateur Radio Terra Hertz (THz) allocations.
The article "Ultrawideband under the gun" in EE Times says on page 2: ---- A presentation from AT&T Labs called on the group to raise its voice against spectrum allocation plans in Europe that could shut Wi-Fi out of the 275 GHz to 1 THz bands.
"The best terahertz spectrum is being carved up among science, satellite and amateur radio interests. The give-away of this precious spectrum is unexpected, capricious and irreconcilable with the evolution of future broadband wireless networks," David Britz of AT&T said in his presentation. ----
