One word, and it's not "plastics"

John Edwards, guest-blogging at Lessig.org:

I'll close with a word about just one technology: wireless. I see a lot of wireless as I campaign--from the farms of Iowa to the classrooms at Dartmouth. At the Rock the Vote debate tomorrow, we’re going to be getting questions by wireless.  Right now, "Wi-Fi" is offering mobility and encouraging affordable broadband in places that wouldn’t have it otherwise.  But the FCC could do more to encourage wireless --with market reforms that get rid of outdated license constraints and free up more unused spectrum for sharing.  At the same time, no company should be getting exclusive rights to the airwaves for free.  We've seen enough corporate giveaways already.
