b'After reading "Amtrak\'s Lessons for Access to the Airwaves," I knew we wanted to talk to Michael Calabrese and Patrick Lucey of the Open Technology Institute at the New America Foundation to discuss wireless policy. Unfortunately, scheduling challenges kept Patrick off the this show but we do have a great discussion for this week\'s Community Broadband [no-glossary]Bits[/no-glossary] podcast with Michael Calabrese, who runs the Wireless Future program at OTI.\\n\\nWe discuss the wireless technology Amtrak has wanted to deploy and alternatives that would have been less costly and more quickly to implement. However, this is really just an opportunity to begin the larger discussion about where wireless is going.\\n\\nWe also talk about a recent FCC decision to create much more shared spectrum and how the new system will work, which was also described in a presentation by Milo Medin at the 2015 Freedom to Connect event. \\n\\nIf you enjoy this discussion, you may be interested in our previous discussions with Dewayne Hendricks.\\n\\nRead the transcript from our conversation here.\\n\\nWe want your feedback and suggestions for the show - please e-mail us or leave a comment below. \\n\\nThis show is 25 minutes long and can be played below on this page or via iTunes or via the tool of your choice using this feed. \\n\\nListen to other episodes here or view all episodes in our index.
