I don't know but I heard that the wireless mic lobby in Washington is a pretty influential bunch.

Not to get into the details, but the government has somehow subsidized or gave money to the big telco's over the last 30 - 40 years just to get a single line of communications to our home(Brian eluded to this in earlier posts). Most telco's have benefited greatly from this and they have ton's more money now, compared to than any WISP with less than half a million customers could even THINK of offering for spectrum. To further subordinate this, the rural telco's have been protected from any competition for so long, it falls into the same category. Open it up, and let the American people decide the winners and losers. If more Americans want Internet than wireless mic's...I guess that Internet wins...after all, is the FCC not to serve the American People, or is it the companies who give the most $$$ back that they support?
