gollark: If you ban anything which interferes with an established network you basically have the same system but with a weird finders-keepers angle.
gollark: If there was no licensing, it would be possible for some cryoapioform to decide "hmm, I really want to communicate with some random person over here" and use an overpowered transmitter, thus drowning out all mobile phone reception nearby (on that frequency, at least, they can use several).
gollark: Things like mobile networks need large amounts of bandwidth available and not being interfered with to work.
gollark: It's right to transmit, not literally all control over that frequency ever.
gollark: It seems strange to sell off fundamental properties of reality, but spectrum is actually quite scarce for many uses.
