No No...the US Government can only regulate "interstate commerce"
It there is no commerce, no comtrol go be a sheeple elesewhere "Mark Jeffries" wrote in message ... (DJ UndahCovah) wrote in message ... Our local radio station, radio free brattleboro, is currently documenting community support to show the FCC that indeed, we have the "authority to operate" as granted to us by the public, who own the airwaves. We are a non-profit, non-commerical, 10 watt station with a mission to train local citizens in the art of radio broadcasting and the rights and responsibilities inherent to free speech. Our lawyers have advised us that since the FCC has not defined what "authority to operate" is, we can define it as community support. Since we webcast, you are our community too! The "authority to operate" is the license from the FCC. Until you have that, you have no authority to operate--you're a pirate. The airwaves are sparse and that's why they have to be regulated. You may not like the way they're regulated or not regulated, but it's still the law. And because you're a pirate, you are ineligible to get an LPFM license--and considering that Vermont is an area that *didn't* lose its LPFM frequencies in the argument with the NAB and NPR over adjacencies, you very well could've received a legal LPFM license if you weren't waving the Jolly Roger. Congratulations, Long John Silver. |
