Why is that interesting? The airwaves are regulated by the Federal Communications Commission, and talking on Amateur Radio requires one pass a test to receive a license.
There are three license classes available, they are Technician(entry level), General Class and Advanced Class. Each license class opens up different bands (frequencies) for the operator to use.
I'm currently a General Class, I'll be taking my Advanced Class license test in the next few weeks. You may be surprised how many Hams there are here on Free Republic.
The point I was trying to make was that the government can control the internet and shut it down. The government also controls the airwaves. I’d think they’d cancel all licenses and scramble signals if possible.
Bottom line is the government controls all communication between the people.
