Eric Richards made a good, and rather vocal, point--that currently,
there are alternatives to terrestrial radio.

Laugh. Still fuming over that conversation?


You see, Richards was right....we, as listeners have alternatives.


Unfortunately, one thing we will lose is the ability to listen to
information sources that cannot be shut down on demand. All
broadband, satellite, cell phone go through a massive infrastructure
with built-in choke points. HF/AM do not. What we will lose is more
important than the political implications; it has emergency
implications as well.
