[BC] The FCC bends over...AGAIN

[R A Meuser]

How about the Canadian system. One branch strictly regulates the 
technical aspects and another the other regulatory aspects of 
communication but they are technically 'blind'. So if you want to 
license a radio station you submit you application for technical 
approval. If it meets technical standards, it gets approved. I there is 
a compliant competing application, it too gets approved. All the 
approved applications go to a second body that selects which applicant 
gets the license. Everything starts with technical approval which is 
separate from the more political body.
