Yet anther reason why the FCC should not exist. It functions for no other proposes then to restrict our right to free speech.

I can understand the need to keep people from interfering with each others bandwidths, but this is not a Federal issues, its a State issue, and only a Federal issues when transmissions interfere with other transmissions in other states.

Let the States of the United States cooperate as the nations of the world already do on this matter.

Let there be no one central authority dictating who can and who cannot use the airwaves. That is too much power being placed in too few hands.

Yes, but you have to think about all the mobile radio devices - cell phones, radios, GPS, etc, etc. - these are located in trains, planes, automobiles and even ships that constantly pass through state boundaries.

The technological management is the only aspect of communication that the FCC should be involved in. Content or even ownership should be well-beyond their reach.
