You would argue that we need small government right? Then why are you arguing for big government to intrude in our lives on the internet?

Ultimately, I donn't think it will happen because it could lead to a loss of revenues/jobs for a lot of carriers/ISP's. They will find a way to screw this up somehow, whether it is a lawsuit, restrictions, etc.</p> This would be a huge step forward for getting the rest of America online as well as enabling technologies like VoIP to really have an impact.

They don't want to give each site engineer a RF spectrum analyzer and the time to trap and tune for adjacent band rejection. Thousands of sites and few resources...so sue those who might lie a few mhz away.</p> Well, intermod is a big problem, and tuning the traps and cavities for each site and close freq allocations is a pain when all you hire is low level techs.
