"It is not about remote technology or use of or for DXCC, it is the change
into a enterprise carrier service $/min or $/KW. "
Now, extrapolate the RHR business model to hundreds of similar paid remote
services, all competing for customers to access what has been free spectrum
regulated by the FCC (at least here in the U.S.) In a sense, and to JC's
point, it's the start of a commercial common-carrier network. These "equal
access for all" networks are otherwise heavily regulated in the U.S. The
camel's nose is now in the tent, and the body is sure to follow.
Rather than embracing this commercial abuse of free spectrum, the League
should be scrambling to draft a Petition for Rulemaking to prohibit this
form of paid spectrum access - and that should include all "for profit" and
"not-for-profit" entities. What other countries do is their prerogative.
