Spectrum shouldn't be held hostage for filling government coffers.

They don't want to give broadband to everyone. Only to the upper classes and thats for a good penny.
They are cherrypicking and discriminating.
But we only bitch. Why not action.
How about public donations into a fund for national highspeed broadband/HDTV network?
How about giving our 'airwaves' back to the public instead of to the corporations so we could have an 'affordable' mobile phone network?
Nah, we don't believe in it. Just bitch,bitch and don't bother our greedy corrupted congressmen who work for the phone co's like lapdogs.
Would mod up if i had mod points. Thanks for the explanation!
