There will be no “Let’s colonize Mars” solutions to this one.

Great idea for a post. We’ve dealt with the topic bunches through individual posts, but it would be a good idea to do a big explanation post.

I’ve been hearing this thrown around a lot – but how much is reality and what is marketing hype? I’d also be interested in seeing an article introducing for the lay individual the nature of wireless spectrum, how it works, and how it is saturated. Good post BTW.
