    If Bush is serious about this and it's just not another revenue grab for the government or a gift for big corporations, he's going to have to gut the FCC and give them serious instruction on who really should be the benefactor of any frequency allocations.

    Nah. What he's a gonna do is wrangle up a posse, mosey on over to the FCC, find those pesky frequency allocations and smoke em out. Then he's a gonna appoint someone he trusts to ride herd the FCC to sweeten the pie for his buddies.
