What does this even mean?

  There are branches of libertarianism that believe resources should not be sold by governments, but rather as commons. Some of them also believe in private property which is always annoying.

  I'm not sure how to make it more clear: that the state does a dis-service by claiming dominion over the entire electromagnetic spectrum. If one needs to pay to transmit at convenient and reasonable frequencies, at reasonable levels of signal strength, then speech on the spectra in question is simply not free. I am very much concerned that, outside the visible and audible spectra, along with slivers of 800Mhz, 2.4Ghz, and 5Ghz, that basic free speech is no longer the default.

    > the state does a dis-service by claiming dominion over the entire electromagnetic spectrum The alternative is the guy with the loudest transmitter wins.

      I don't think that's true, any more than thinking that everybody will be zombifed heroin addicts in the absence of drug prohibition.
