Why not privatize RF spectrum, sell it, and allow private enterprise to solve the conflicts?

And who exactly 'sells' that and monitors that. You want Apple to do it? Samsung, Motorola or any of the others doing it?

I've said here, and never waivered from it, that CONTENT control is not the FCC's function.

And I’m telling you that once government has involvement in ANY communications systems, be it paper, smoke signals, semaphore telegraph, phones, or the internet, it will eventually try to tell you what you can or can’t communicate. History has proved that.

RF spectrum now belongs to the “public,” allegedly. So government on behalf of everyone, should sell it and have no more say in how it is used.

Unless you subscribe to the bullsqueeze theory that there is a right to universal service for phones, or the internet, or printing presses. Which is where this all started.
