After months of deliberations, the FCC decided to dedicate almost a third of the spectrum available to some open access conditions, including allowing consumers to attach legal devices and run legal software on the network.

Measuring the electromagnetic spectrum
You actually know more about it than you may think! The electromagnetic (EM) spectrum is just a name that scientists give a bunch of types of radiation when they want to talk about them as a group.
