This indeed seems like a great idea !! Rather than giving the Network operators exclusive rights to bands of frequencies which they sit on even if there is no active users in the area & may charge others users roaming , allocating frequencies dynamically & on-demand to users’s needing them definitely sounds better plan to me.

don’t’ see the challenges for devices either since my device will still be served by my SP which would switch me to available band (beyond what’s allocated to them now ) and most devices these days support multi-band anyways.

Note that, as in other areas, the White House has ensured that Google will control the outcome of PCAST proceedings. Not only is Google’s Executive Chairman on the committee, but there are members from Hummer Winblad (which has close ties to Google) and the Broad Institute (of which Schmidt is a board member). William Press of UT Austin has also received funding from Google. In short, Google is pulling most of the strings here.
