Time to school the FCC on what"free" really means

  2008-07-05 08:30:02
It's time to get ornery again with the FCC. Fortunately, they're asking for it, by soliciting comment on this FCC rulemaking proposal for"Service Rules for Advanced Wireless Services in the 1915-1920 MHz, 1995-2000 MHz, 2020-2025 MHz and 2175-2180 MHz Bands. It's a chocolate-covered spider. The chocolate is cost. The rulemaking proposes making Internet access over that spectrum"free"â€' in the free-as-in-beer sense. Not the free-as-in-freedom sense. Especially not in the free-as-in-speech sense. And least of all in the free-as-in-markets sense.
