Seriously, not trying to be snide. I simply see nothing important on
the topic of FCC authority on Indian Reservations in that document.
Not to say it won't become an important issue some day, but I don't
see the seeds there.

What you see is the FCC side-step the question. I do not believe they
wish to take on the Indian nation. Indeed, I have heard of little
success in any gov't agency in doing so.

Those treaties signed many moons ago by our forefathers still stand
(Navajo, especially, have refused every attempt at revision), and they
are very, very broad ... like gambling was probably accepted in all the
territories back then. Like radio was NOT invented back then ... do you
even know how large that reservation in question is? Try the size of
West Virginia. Know how large that tribe is? Try the largest in the USA.

Some reservations have sent men to the best colleges and have some of
the best attorneys in the world. If you doubt that, take on the
Indians. California did, and lost ...
