Please kill this message thread right away, and stop going off half-cocked. Do not spread this false rumor further. If you really think it's real, then a call to the FCC in Gettysburg, PA should be in order. DON'T PROPAGATE THIS FALSE RUMOR ANY FURTHER UNTIL YOU HAVE THE ACTUAL TEXT OF THE NOTICE OF PROPOSED RULE-MAKING IN YOUR HANDS. Please consider this a flame. You are an idiot.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! This has been killed 3 years ago. This is a constantly recurring nightmare. My father works for the FCC and I know this to be true. So, don't send any mail. It makes us look foolish and wastes time, moey, energy. A better thing to complain about is the funding of the Space Station Freedom, which will conservativley cost $130 billion to make and $5 billion to run annually. Yet, the experiments it will do could, and are being done in much cheaper satellites -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Scott C.
