In this episode of the podcast, Chris is joined by Harold Feld (Public Knowledge) and Michael Calabrese (New America’s Open Technology Institute) to unpack the growing threat to Wi-Fi and shared spectrum like CBRS. 

As Congress debates how to raise revenue through spectrum auctions, a Senate proposal could force the FCC to auction off the very spectrum Wi-Fi 7 needs to thrive—jeopardizing billions in economic value and the connected future we’ve come to depend on. 

They break down what’s at stake, how we got here, and what you can do to help protect this vital public resource.
