Sounds like there needs to be a lobby group set up quickly!! Any

volunteers?

And this has exactly what impact upon shortwave radio?


Other than the obvious April Fool's reference,
the fun part would be that the argument of
streaming internet broadcasting to more people
than shortwave would become moot.
