The Cyborg Advantage in Business
This month's Wired magazine has a story titled: Advantage: Cyborg, that talks about why an average human with a very strong computer based smarts is the best combination in chess. The people can blend the number crunching of the compute with their innovation and creativity - knowing how and when to rely on machine intelligence.
One of the areas I've been talking about for a while is the intersection of the abundance of data (that people just can't handle) with the abundance of computing capabilities (available from cloud techniques) to define a new plateau of business value generation. This blending of the computer's capabilities and the individual's expertise is what I mean by allowing people to focus on turning anomalies into opportunities and allow the automation of "normal". Focusing the expertise where it is needed, instead of being wasted on normal activities.
This is where pattern recognition and human intuition can give an organization a significant advantage.
FCC releases the Spectrum Map
The new spectrum dashboard has many features to help "Find spectrum licenses within 225 MHz - 3700 MHz in the following radio services: 700 MHz; 800 MHz Cellular; Advanced Wireless Service (AWS); Broadband Personal Communications Service (PCS); Broadband Radio Service (BRS) and Educational Broadband Service (EBS); 2.3 GHz Wireless Communications Service (WCS); Full Power TV Broadcast and Mobile Satellite Services (MSS). "
This information has not really been updated since the switch to digital TV and this site provides information by geography where spectrum options are still open. You can also search by company where the spectrum has been licensed.
