[BC] DRM broadcasting to begin in USA

[Milspec390 at aol.com]

FCC had many alternatives. Integrity. Adherence to their own interference 
rules. Truth. Loyalty to American citizens, whose airwaves FCC at one time 
protected, prior to onset of end-stage feckless craven mendacity.
 
Why didn't they invoke the well known Medical Model. Its dictum, 'primum non 
nocere' - first, do no harm - saves misery across a whole panoply of endeavors.
 
 But they didn't. Greaszing off this meretricious bunch? Say it ain't so. How 
else did a de facto jammer gain FCC's dubious blessing? Saying 'prove it', 
albeit in roundabout manner amplifies our concerns. It's what they all say, 
along with, 'you're crazy', and 'you're imagining things'. 
 
Let's see. Condos in St. Maarten, resorts in Belize, promises of future 
lucre, our New Tapeworm Economy features many fine undetectable ways to launder 
money.
 
 Let's see, 'Ten Million Dollar gifts to _www.lifespan.org_ 
(http://www.lifespan.org)  in my name, of 'laundered money', ostensibly for 'crippled 
childrens' research, was the crowning gag of the vainglorious. That's one way to 
launder it.
 
We needn't prove anything. The American citizens know what they see - and 
smell.
 
  Many broadcasters lamented young Powell's FCC stewardship, rightly 
interpreting his stentorian blattings about being 'pro free enterprise', as closet 
endorsement of cronyism.
 
 Here's an alternative that scares the daylights out of the pod people who 
consolidated radio to a faretheewell:

Forget noxious techno non-solutions. Try compelling programs.
 
No, everything doesn't have to go digital. Most of us could care less about 
digital. We like what sounds and looks good. It's why lay viewers know a good 
film from a turkey.
 
For that matter, it's why consumers came, saw, and soon departed the iBLOC 
scene.
 
 
Sometimes, when the going is misrepresented as tough by greedygut dullards, 
the truly tough stand fast. The FCC chose the path of least resistance. Good 
for them.
 
 
  HD jams. It's making a mess of airwaves thousands of miles from this 
country. What an achievement. Some grand alliance. Of what?
 
  The Verdict Is Yours soliloquoy might play now, but it'll flop at 
'inevitable digital lawsuits'  resulting from iNiquity's tedious penchant for blaming 
all but themselves for this fatallly flawed unworkable turkey which serves a 
small handful of odd Wall Streeters at the expense of all else.
 
 
As for FCC implementing spot solutions to interference, wasn't The Big Lie, 
'There are no problems with iBLOC'. 'HD does not interfere'. Wha' happen?
 
There are no spot solutions. The only solution is junk this kluge or enjoy 
the visage of 'rampant consumer apathy' morphing into 'inevitable consumer 
disappointment' with the moribund, creatively bankrupt radio skindustry.
 
  The FCC violated its own rules and allowed a small handful of radio 
know-nothings to violate our airwaves. Why does everyone underestimate the American 
Citizens? The 90s are kaput, finis. And people are no longer in a mood for 
dissemblings.
