Subject: RE: What's This New Tax for Free Radio?

I still want to know WHY FCC can control broadcast signals, strengths and such, but with satellite radio, they cannot control content. I guess that's because it's not "free" to all. So, that means with cable TV, the FCC has no control, but I don't think so!!!

Anyway, this fee or tax will affect even college radio! Forgot about them. More talk going on about it today, on radio!

Freest of nations? Depends how you define "free"! :-)

Best,
John
