Wow. Thanks for looking, and typing, all that up for us, Leo. Words are
always modified by the context of the discussion. In one case, a mandate is
a command. In another, it's an approval, authorization, or so on. In the
context used, knowing most here should know the FCC rules (or could look
them up), the sense of that word should have been obvious.
