coming you know, different -- basically different ways with different propagation carried yours the summer high-frequency waves that carry a lot of information, but not through laws or treaties or for very long distances. and then there are low-frequency bands, such as those used by television, which are considered the beachfront, the very best because those frequencies carry radio signals through walls, through trees and in rural areas over very long to this. so it's a set of frequencies useful for communicating and it's all owned by the american people as a kind of public resource. >> host: david donovan, anything to that definition you would like to add? just don't know, you think that's correct. it started with the sinking of the titanic as all things. wireless communications have been important in this country and to the department of commerce and certainly since the 1920's through the federal radiocommunication of the federal communication you have the government, the government entity that has been established to examine uses and to get a licensing structure, which will allow

actually, the best area for carrying signals over long distances is your am band. the lower you go, the longer the signal can get out there. for video you'll see two segments, vhf and uhf, and, in fact, in the '70s that band really blossomed in its ability to be used for video pictures. i guess the one thing about that chart that is somewhat deceiving only because of the way it's laid out is of that area, the 225-3.7 gigahertz, the so-called beach front that everyone has been talking about in washington -- >> host: and where is that on this chart? go ahead and point to it -- >> guest: well, like most things, i need glasses to see this. it essentially starts a little bit below channel 14 and moves up, starts somewhere aroun here and moves further up the band up to here. >> host: okay. >> guest: the thing is that television broadcasting actually are the beach front only has exclusive use of roughly 5.1% of the sctrum. now, in major markets we share spectrum, and you can see that on that chart. channel 14-20 with police departments and land mobile operations. so all i
