A new report by the Pew Internet & American Life Project shows that the pace of the growth of broadband's usage slowed in the first six months of 2005, as compared to a similar period in 2004. This is not particularly alarming, but it does point to an issue that I intend to investigate during my fellowship -- the use of unlicensed spectrum in an effort to increase the use and penetration of such technology. Opening up more such spectrum -- like that of analog television -- would certainly help. Stay tuned: I hope to be able to offer insights -- and maybe some legal scholarly writing, which is why I'm here (other than to enjoy the weather) -- before its all over.
