Whatever happened to the 'no domestic SW service' rule??




The rule isn't enforced. I'd like to know if it's actually enforcable.

The subject came up on a RW article:



All in all, U.S. SW broadcasters operate in a strange, Twilight Zone kind of
world, but one that they relish. Passport's Magne believes that U.S.
shortwave broadcasters enjoy it so much that they don't want the FCC to
loosen its archaic restrictions on domestic shortwave.

"The truth is that they like it the way it is," he said. "If the rules were
changed, it could open the floodgates to more competition."

An unfair accusation? Not according to WRMI's White.

"We discussed changing the rules at the National Association of Shortwave
Broadcasters' convention a few years ago," he said. "In fact, the FCC asked
for our help in doing so. However, after some discussion, a lot of people
came to Magne's conclusion: that we're all better off just leaving things as
they are. After all, under the current regime, the FCC pretty much leaves us
alone. If the rules were changed, then they might get serious about
enforcing them."
