FCC To Loosen Wireless Ownership Rules

jgaynor writes: "The FCC on Thursday voted to remove the existing restriction on how many frequencies a single wireless provider can own in any one location. While this is a blow for consumers who want more cell bandwidth and services like data or video - they could end up getting hosed as this might knock some smaller players out of the market and decrease competition, raise prices, etc. Excite has coverage; CBS Marketwatch does too."

"...While this is a blow for consumers who want more cell bandwidth..."

I think the use of "blow" here was a mistake. From the context, it looks like timothy and/or jgaynor meant "boon"
