The Economic Promise of Wireless Spectrum

[Commentary] A founding principle of The Hamilton Project’s economic strategy is that long-term prosperity is best achieved by fostering economic growth and broad participation in that growth in a changing global economy.

One important way to fulfill the goals of this strategy is to encourage the efficient use of our nation’s resources to maximize economic growth and to foster innovation.

In this policy memo, The Hamilton Project considers the economic challenge of more-efficient assignment of wireless spectrum, which is critical to our modern information economy, as well as to national security, defense, and first responders.
