The FCC is getting out of control

[MattTheSkywalker]

It's called BANDWIDTH. Video feeds are slow as it is, let alone trying to broadcast multiple feeds. Peering of individual nets also represent a huge problem except in large metropoli.

It;s only slow because cable companies have bought most ISPs. Cable companies want the web slowed because they want to control the distruibution of content - they sdon;t want you downlaoding movies, they want you paying. Keeping teh download speeds slow makes their methoid more profitable.

As wireless technology gets better and better, all of the cable ownership of sdistribution media will mean less and less. Internet in the car is a matter of years - we'll see it soon, and Internet radio will fill the gap mang, followed by TV etc.

Bandwidth itself is not really a problem - there is so much more capaicty then we are using. Distruibution is the problem.

I know this goes against the extremely liberal grain here (like I give a shit lol)

Personally, I'm glad to see H get the axe. He's a tool...always has been, always will be.

Now if we can just get the rest of the garbage like Springer, Ricki Lake (et.al.) off the air

(patiently awaits the inevitable liberal spaz-out rebuttal)

The potential capacity is there, the active capaity is not. The ability to create MONEY from it by the content providers is not. If there was a way for them to make MONEY off of it without it being pirated, distribution WILL occur.

That's just opinion mang. I like Howard, Springer etc. Millions of people share my opinion, million share yours. It's such a common thing that a proverb was invented about it

"One man's trash is another man's treasure".

The first amendmnet is supposed to render them equal though, and prevent exactly what the FCC has done. The FCC urinates all over the First Amendment on a regular basis.

Howard Stern is an ignorant stupid fuck who I enjoyed listing to. I have a right to listen to garbage when on the treadmill.

 

[strongsmartsexy]

I couldn't STAND Howard Stern. But, taking him off the radio should send out shockwaves throughout the free-speech community. I'm truely saddened that the sensorship has taken him off.

well if you strongly oppose those shows then you should organize people to boycott products that are advertised on those shows. or simply don't watch them. or get people to get jobs since those shows are televised in the afternoon.

although for a brief moment when springer first came on the scene that show was pretty funny.

It doesn't matter if you like Howard Stern Springer, etc...

Howard Stern is a big target and its easy to get people to agree on taking him down. But be warned, this is just the begining of the fall of freedom of speech. Once they get a momentum, they will water down every form of entertainment and artisitc expression.

back to the Dark Ages

Right now it's HS, but we'll see how quick people change their minds when it is them or something they like that's being silenced.

taking him off the radio should send out shockwaves throughout the free-speech community.

I dunno. Removing Jerry Springer from the air is a bit like getting rid of National Geographic. It's a reminder about how evolution has FAILED. Survival of the most fit is a myth!
