info Publishes
Special Issue on
Wi-Fi History


info: The journal of policy, regulation and strategy for telecommunications, information and media has recently published a special issue on "The genesis of unlicensed spectrum policy". My congratulations to Chuck Jackson who was both the organizer of the April 2008 seminar at George Mason University, "Unleashing Unlicensed - How Wi-Fi got its regulatory groove", that resulted in the writing of these papers and Guest Editor of this issue. Below is the table of contents of the issue with links to the papers. These links are free only to subscribers but the original versions of the papers are still available at the GMU site.
