Before I started working on this side of the table, I (too) thought I knew a lot about Broadcasting. After all, I had 23 years as a manufacturer of Broadcast equipment, had relationships with all the major Broadcasters and Networks. Then reality hit.

And just who (exactly) are these "plenty of others" that are so willing to work within the proscribed confines? (the list of questions goes on, but I would not want to bore everyone with my tirade ;^) ) John Golitsis wrote: >I think that everything is fair game, providing it's been decided >that's in the public's interest by those responsible for allowing you >to use "the people's" spectrum in the first place.
