From each according to ability, to each according to need???


137 million cell users versus 11 million broadcast TV users.  Did you read
the article?  There is a whole section in there on how the current
restrictions are actually making millions for the "owners" of the
frequencies in the current system by exploiting a very old bureaucracy.  I
think your argument is strongly in favor of opening these frequencies up for
mass use, and you just don't know it yet.  Check it out, it's really an
eye-opener!
Take care,
bmc  :)
