Wireless communications continue to evolve at a mind-numbing pace, but one thing will never change: spectrum always will be the foundation for wireless operations. In the public-safety space, 800 MHz rebanding finally is complete and the T-Band spectrum is no longer being auctioned, but plenty of other issues remain.
