This paper examines technical and political dynamics around the uses and applications of the electromagnetic spectrum. Arguing that surveillance is an intrinsic part of the development of a certain technological model and architecture at an infrastructural level, we explore concepts and practices that seek new prospects for understanding and acting in this essential layer for communication processes that is the spectrum. We begin presenting the radio spectrum and its management to then discuss the notion of 'open spectrum' and its most recent uses. At the end, we present examples that illustrate alternative technical and political conceptions by means of the notion of a "free spectrum".
