Attack of the 5G Truthers!
Given that safety is not a real problem, or at the very least not something city councils need to worry about, a coherent focus on aesthetics and speedy deployment best serves the public interest.
Winning the 5G Prize
While the US is in a comfortable international position with 5G at the moment, we could run into problems down the road.
Resolving the 6 GHz Conundrum
I’m proposing that the FCC releases 480 MHz of bandwidth in the 6 GHz band for a pilot project. The terms of the pilot are as specified, three high speed, indivisible 160 MHz channels supported by ongoing work on inter-access point coordination.
Siting Small Cells in a Time of Tech Hesitancy
We also need to get better – a lot better – at communicating our aspirations and motives for creating new technology. 5G is an a chaotic state in many jurisdictions these days because we’ve failed to communicate the benefits and to bring the public along with us.

Behind the Curve: EFF’s Long Strange Trip
