The FCC might do what it wants to do regardless of our actions, but it won't  
be because corporations are dictating this. The corporations generally  
*don't* want more regulation unless it benefits them. I'm having a hard to  
pointing figures at why corporations would feel this is a threat and push for  
said laws. The best I could come up with is Intel has some new hardware tech  
that they can license out to others. However the rules passed and being  
proposed don't require this. That would be a future rule not yet proposed.

I think we have to assume this is for the moment an over-reaction to airports  
complaints on interferences with doppler radar systems. The issue is that of  
a few abusers and this would be a quick fix. They've completely overlooked at  
the moment the huge collateral damage that would occur. However it's going to  
be an uphill battle to fix this as some of the rules have already passed and  
coming into effect now. The current proposed rules is step one of a multiple  
step road map to fix the problem.
