## Chapters 1–3 of 3

### Technical Analysis of Aircraft Altimeter Interference and 5G

- **Episode:** [1418: Homeless Apocalypse](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1418-homeless-apocalypse.md)
- **Published:** 2022-01-20
- **Time:** 1:10:57–1:15:58
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1418-homeless-apocalypse/chapter/technical-analysis-of-aircraft-altimeter-interference-and-5g.md

The hosts provide a technical breakdown of why Boeing aircraft are particularly susceptible to 5G interference due to their fuselage composition and older altimeter designs. They argue the conflict is primarily a financial dispute over who pays for equipment upgrades. Furthermore, they suggest 5G's millimeter-wave signals could cause broader interference issues for future autonomous vehicle sensors.

### FCC Incentive Auctions and Broadcast TV Spectrum

- **Episode:** [470: Civil Society](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/470-civil-society.md)
- **Published:** 2012-12-16
- **Time:** 1:25:36–1:28:25
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/470-civil-society/chapter/fcc-incentive-auctions-and-broadcast-tv-spectrum.md

Gordon Smith, head of the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB), expresses concern over FCC plans to hold "incentive auctions" in 2014. The government aims to buy back spectrum from television broadcasters to sell to mobile carriers for 4G services. The hosts argue this will disenfranchise millions of Americans who rely on terrestrial broadcasting and increase government control over communications.

### Spectrum Auctions and Federal Control of Wireless Infrastructure

- **Episode:** [278: Pap Schmear](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/278-pap-schmear.md)
- **Published:** 2011-02-13
- **Time:** 13:41–23:56
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/278-pap-schmear/chapter/spectrum-auctions-and-federal-control-of-wireless-infrastructure.md

The federal government plans to auction 500 megahertz of airwave spectrum to reduce the deficit and provide a backbone for new business platforms. This initiative includes investment incentives and a Wireless Innovation Fund to provide seed money for scientists to develop faster, more secure networks. Critics argue that moving the nation toward wireless infrastructure allows the government to bypass net neutrality rules that apply to wired connections, facilitating easier surveillance and control.
