From the former chief economist of the FCC, a remarkable story of the US government's regulation of air waves

Popular legend that before the Federal Radio Commission was founded in 1927, the radio spectrum was in chaos with broadcast stations blasting powerful signals to drain rivals. In this fascinating and entertaining story, Thomas Winslow Hazlett, a prominent scientist in law and economics, loses the idea that the US government has penetrated to introduce the necessary regime. Instead, the regulatory authorities prevented competition in favor of existing interests and have suppressed innovation for almost a century, while outlining the usual views.

Hazlett describes how spectrum officials produced a "great wilderness" which they criticized publicly but privately protected. History turns and looks like foresight visionaries - and the science of March arises to challenge the old regime. For decades, reforms to free the radar spectrum have caused explosive advances, by launching the "smartphone revolution", nowadays social media and the amazing wireless world now emerging. The author still argues, the battle is not even half water.
