FCC Pitches Free, Bowdlerized Wireless Internet Access

Posted by timothy on from the so-really-we-don't-need-much-bandwidth dept.

Aidtopia writes "FCC Chairman Kevin Martin is proposing auctioning off an unused part of the 25 MHz spectrum on the condition that the winner provide free wireless Internet access. The proposal sets coverage targets that ramp up to 95% of the population within 10 years. The catch: the provider must filter out obscene content." I wonder what definition of "obscene" the FCC would like to use.

    Well, I'd start with the Torah, Bible & Koran, and then go from there.
