I’ve sometimes daydreamed that someone would develop a new super duper Internet where utilities and other vital institutions could locate securely from the Blue Meanies and other fiends.

A key barrier has been the lack of spectrum availability to support those specialized networks. Now, thanks to this new FCC order, utilities can get access to that spectrum.
