		<description>&lt;p&gt;Good, site have learned more through this site than I have through months of reading search engine &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;optimisation and reading how to gain links books. Prehaps you can give me me some advice on how to get &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;my wiltshire based web company to the top of search engines - help to get me comments/links and to my &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;site?&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dealshunt.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;hot deal&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;There is another link under the category of personal finance but it has nothing to do with finance. If you have difficulties in making payment, you can click the link named &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.wachoviabankviews.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;www.wachoviabank.com&lt;/a&gt;. You will have an expert helping you to fix your problems and you don’t have to go out of your home to get the service. What you need to do is to choose a button between the two “call us today” and “we’ll call you”. Don’t you think this service shows the attentiveness and consideration of the Wachovia? It’s really good in my opinion.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Election is now over and Barack Obama has won the position of the next president of the United States. There are lots of expectations that wait for him and lots of promises to be fulfilled. Obama has promised the U.S. a lot of things like lower taxes for the middle class, putting a timeline on the war in Iraq, and trimming the federal budget “line by line.” What many Americans don’t realize is that Obama has also supported the elimination of the payday loan industry. Obama thinks doing away with the payday loan industry will protect low-income, and often minority, families from being victimized by predatory lenders. However, getting rid of the payday loans is a violation of our financial freedom. Maybe Obama will give America what it needs, but taking away our financial freedom isn’t a great start to creating positive change. Read more on this topic Obama to Bring Change&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Drew, the point is that the typical assumptions of the “property” language are highly contested. You blur the traditional distinctions by referring to an option for “property” owned by the public. Perhaps it is more useful to discuss policy in terms of excludability. In that case, the relevant question is whether making the spectrum licensed and excludable is more efficient. You assume that it is.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This has little to do with the “swiss-cheesy” characteristic you discuss. As a practical matter, unlicensed devices may be better able to deal with such an environment, but it is far from the only argument for such an approach. Of course, clearing the frequencies in question of the broadcasters adds to the impracticability of your suggestion. Where do you plan to put the broadcasters? How would you even begin to overcome the political challenge… before February 2009?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In any event, the two arguments are unrelated. Unlicensed use is arguably more efficient than an excludable, licensed regime. Unlicensed is also likely more practical than some sort of wholesale broadcaster re-allocation.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;To be sure, some people describe this as a battle between Google and NAB, but that’s just bad journalism. We know better.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Finally, your implication that those advocating for unlicensed use are not making economically rational arguments for why such an approach is economically efficient is misguided.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Steve, I wish I had been clearer (it was a quick post) in my observation on the need to discuss property-based usage of the airwaves -- whether that &quot;property&quot; is held by a private party, by a spectrum manager (who could sublease and re-allocate its use to others on a minute-by-minute basis), or by the public at large, through the government. (I do think that there is a good case for a &quot;Central Park&quot; in the airwaves.)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;True, I may have been reflecting an assumption that cleared spectrum would be more useful than Swiss-cheesy spectrum. However, I am getting tired of hearing about how this debate is between Google and the broadcasters. The reality of the debate is that it is between those who feel that the spectrum is best used in the bits and pieces that are there, because of the broadcast television allotments; and those who feel that there are indeed politically achievable ways to get everyone to the most economically efficient result.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Drew, your typically even-handed analysis is rather one-sided on the white spaces issue. Your post is premised on a huge unspoken assumption — that strict propertization is always more efficient. At the very least, acknowledge the wealth of scholarship to the contrary.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Perhaps in that context you would better be able to understand the widespread support for unlicensed devices.&lt;/p&gt;
