Posted by michael on from the oh-boy-here-comes-the-fcc dept.

Orne writes "Whereas NPR is speculating on the television spectrum, the AP brings us news that the Bush administration is set to re-evaluate government and industry use of the radio spectrum. An executive order kicks off a year of public meetings held by the Commerce Dept; the official press release is here."

    I wouldn't be surprised if Bush had his own channel where he repeatedly chanted the current color of Alert.

      They already have that. It's called Fox News.

    But wouldn't everyone be happier with 312 Spice channels?

    Resistance is futile. We will control what you will hear, what you will believe and and what you will buy. You don't need trustworthy local news. Just look at the new FCC regulations. Definately change for the worse.

    A year of public meetings?

    Since we already know why the outcome, why not just pronounce the findings and move along. I'm sure Michael Powell won't be wasting his time at these meaningless meetings.

    Not that I'm cynical.
