The Document was found by a member of the group and thus wanted to share it at the same time with everyone. But too much doubt as to the importance of the information was expressed. This tells me one of 4 things. 1 They can't understand. 2. They don't believe it. 3. They don't care. 4. They'll broadcast anyway legal or otherwise when the privileges are revoked. It took 8 years for Americans to realize Internet Radio was in danger and they still don't get it. So too I expect it to take 8 years when their hobby is no longer legal the way they done it before once its changed or revoked. But after that huge fine they may wonder why they didn't listen to a warning that they could have chimed in on to save it from happening in the first place. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
I guess the forums aren't all at once? I mean we're just going to put it on the boards anyway.
Also, 2, 4, and add a 5 cause it Ain't gunna happen. The FCC is not going to do something that will cause them more work load when the enfocement team can't keep up with what they have now.
However, I am very interested in what they are trying this time.
Again, just because a group like the NAB wants something doesn't mean that they're going to get it. The fields of battle around the FCC are littered with the corpses of those who wanted something and were shot down.
And I'd like to know realistically what could be done about it anyway, even if the FCC decides it wants to move ahead with the recommendation. A from the gut emotional response last minute is more than likely going to do the exact opposite of what it was intended to do.
I say, ignore it. I really think that the best approach is to continue on the current path. Any sort of petition to increase range for unlicensed broadcasting needs to demonstrate the value and importance of such a service, both to the public and to radio in general. Just that part of the petition alone could be submitted to the FCC if they decide to ask for comments on the NAB's recommendation.
My guess is that it will end up being just another corpse.
We were going to meet to talk about the FM Initiative.
But that seems to have been upstaged by a perceived new threat to the part 15 radio rules.
I hate to use this name, but, has the Initiative been Trumped?
What I will wonder at the meeting is...
If there is a genuine threat to the existing rules, what can we do about it?
But don't answer that now.

That worked for the 27 MHz Citizens Band now a license free service with little or no enforcement.
When they could no longer police it, they abandoned it rather than try to eliminate it. Fortunately for the FCC, cell phones and social media have somewhat reduced the favor of 27 MHz CB radio.
Sounds like a great reason to create a shortwave hobby broadcaster service. Gets us out of the NAB-NPR hair so they'll quit rattlin' the FCC's cage. Does Alan Weiner pay royalties?
