[BC] Spectrum "looting in progress" update

[Lewis Munn]

Kirk...under the free enterprise system with land...look at the results!  The poor live in hovels and tenaments, or on the street.  The rich buy up huge amounts of choicest land and build palatial mansions.  Kerry is a prime example!  Had at one time at least 7 huge estates...because he was rich enough to buy up land that would have fed and housed hundreds of ordinary individuals.
   
  That is close in radio to what we have now...rich companies with central management, buying up all the stations they can, and hogging the spectrum space for themselves.  Small guys are drowned out.  And priced out.  See what the big boys did with IBOC...a little home-town station can ill afford all the fancy expensive new stuff for IBOC...most supply local jobs and live hand to mouth as it is.
   
  Since the distribution of wealth tends to be quite inequitable, your proposal as I hear it would do as happens with other areas...the rich hog most and the whole rest gets a few undersireable dregs for their share.
   
  Survival of the richest!

  Is "this land is your land, this land is my land" public property or

RF spectrum should be the same way in The Land of the Free, Home of the 
Brave.

All spectrum licensed to private companies should be converted to their 
private ownership.
