Policies and regulations governing electromagnetic spectrum prioritize reducing conflict among active users of spectrum (transmitters), thereby enabling these active users to capture the values associated with property rights to spectrum. Coexistence of heterogeneous technologies and their enforcement have been well studied, but much less has been done to consider the coexistence of heterogeneous uses and the institutions that are necessary to address conflict arising among different users of spectrum.We argue that prevailing property-rights institutions that focus on reducing conflict among active users of spectrum generate a property mismatch that contributes to conflict with passive users of spectrum. Passive users are interested primarily in receiving signals transmitted by nature. The propertymismatch approach offers insight into how to redesign spectrum governance to balance the demands of both active and passive users. Particularly we argue that virtual parceling of the electromagnetic spectrum along a broader range of dimensions can better facilitate efficient spectrum sharing between active and passive users.

The current system for managing spectrum in the United States gives the federal government essentially all authority over electromagnetic spectrum management and governance on tribal lands. The Deploying the Internet by Guaranteeing Indian Tribes Autonomy over Licensing (DIGITAL) Reservations Act envisions a system of spectrum governance that affirms tribal self-determination in managing and licensing the natural resource called spectrum. Though the DIGITAL Reservations Act has yet to be passed into law, it outlines a set of principles that are essential to guide equitable policymaking related to Indigenous nations. We analyze the Act and discuss the opportunities and challenges offered by this framework.
