Spectrum Wars

“Spectrum Wars” refers to the competition and conflict over the allocation and use of radio frequency spectrum, which is a limited resource utilized for various forms of wireless communication, including television, radio, mobile phones, and internet services. As demand for wireless communication has increased due to the proliferation of connected devices and services, different entities, including governments, private companies, and public organizations, engage in “wars” or intense competition to secure licenses and rights to specific frequency bands. These conflicts can manifest in regulatory battles, lobbying efforts, and technological innovations aimed at optimizing spectrum use. Spectrum Wars can also highlight the challenges of managing a finite resource in an increasingly digital and interconnected world.
