Not knowing much about radio spectrum, but its a finite resource right? There's no way to expand the spectrum, or do something similar like what they did in the early days of wireless technology where they transitioned from TDMA (time division multiple access) to CDMA (code division multiple access) in order to expand the number of user you can put on a data stream.
Am I right to look at radio spectrum as a finite resource?
- sharpneli 6y agoThose examples are ways to use the spectrum more efficiently. But the amount we have does not change. It is finite indeed. But it’s also not something that’s consumable. Imagine it as a fixed sized room. If you move stuff out of a corner you can reuse it infinitely, but there can only be so much stuff in there on a particular moment.
