Geofenced Spectrum Budgets

Treat public radio spectrum as a budgeted urban/regional asset that can be parceled via geofenced, variable‑power authorizations rather than only by rigid national service classes. Regulators would explicitly allocate spatial‑power budgets (who can transmit where and how much power), require interoperable geofence services, and audit incumbents and new users to manage interference and reclaim capacity. — Framing spectrum as a spatially budgeted public good shifts debates from binary licensed/unlicensed fights to practical tradeoffs about who gets dynamic outdoor power, how to protect incumbents (microwave, radio astronomy), and how to accelerate next‑gen wireless services responsibly.
