On the Same Wavelength?
from Canusa Street - Intersecting the Canada U.S. Relationship Hosted by Wilson Center
As Americans and Canadians roam the world our devices keep us connected using signals that travel at specific frequencies. Governments allocate frequencies for radio, television, cell phones, and new devices add new demands for spectrum every day. How do US and Canadian approaches compare, and when it comes to broadband internet connections and 5G, how do we avoid mixed signals? In the episode, Scotty and Chris welcome economists Tom Hazlett at Clemson University and Jeff Church at the University of Calgary to Canusa Street to explain the political economy of connectivity and how businesses in Canada and the United States stay on the same wavelength.
