Remember, it is the blood suckers in Washington that let this train wreck happen. They love to create conflict between competing industries to enhance their blood sucking abilities. We are all the victims... > $40/mo for "Free TV" If you were intellectually honest, you would recognize the fact that this election is a referendum on the continued dominance of the "Election Channel." It is now clear that the entrenched media oligopoly is willing to use tactics, once associated with propaganda machines like Pravda, to influence the outcome of the election. The cracks in the dam are now quite visible. When it bursts things could change dramatically. This is especially true as it relates to appropriate allocation of spectrum for applications that are in the public interest. We are about to reach a major fork in the road that leads to the digital future. We can create an infrastructure that can unleash phenomenal innovation and economic growth, or we can let the blood suckers and the media oligopoly have complete control over the flow of news, information and entertainment.
