[Fourlanders] wave bye-bye to 440 MHz

[Jim Worsham]

What I think is even better is the FCC plan to auction off more TV broadcast
spectrum and offer some of the proceeds to the TV broadcasters to persuade
them to give up the spectrum.  WTF?  The last time I checked my license on
the back specifically says that the license doesn't grant you any rights to
pectrum.  I am sure that the TV broadcast licenses say something similar but
the FCC has to pay them to relinquish the spectrum?  Maybe ReconRobots
should have to pay us something to use our spectrum.

I wouldn't be too quick to call it all doom-and-gloom. It's not the best of
news, but... their numbers are small. Wonder where these robots will be
used? 

MY big disappointment in the Commissions order was the FCC going back to the
manufacturer and asking if a new label is OK. Give me a break! Tell them you
WILL have this label. Or better yet, tell them no to the band. 

I think we can read between-the-lines. A "favor" was called.
