So Mr./Mrs./Ms. "we"... too bad 'you' (that would be the "we", which you
state as being the public at large, to whom I am speaking to at this
particular time) have not directed your elected public representatives
(paid for in many ways) to direct its "expert group" (that would, in
this discussion for me, be the FCC) to look at the real needs of a
nation to communicate with its population. Wirelessly...
What were they watching before/during/after the hurricane? How many
people were watching cable in New Orleans after the hurricane? Was this
NOT a good use or "your" spectrum?
Oh, and lest I not forget, thank you so very much for the mandated
switch to "digital". You really made our day with that one! Mandated,
and who pays for it? I will never forget it when I was at the FCC and in
response to several things one of the chief FCC "techies" said "We knew
that it was an outdoor directed 30 foot antenna service..."
"Broadcasters don't want mobile". Gosh, no one ever asked THIS
Broadcaster that question. As a matter of fact...oh, never mind, seem to
be going around in circles on this one...
