It's like an immutable law - wherever general purpose computing arises, companies and government will collude to try and regulate it out of existence.

- toyg 11y agoTo be fair, this is a real problem. The radio space is not unlimited and is regulated for practical reasons; until those practical reasons exists, regulations will have to exist. If somebody openly flaunts them, that's a problem for everyone; harsher regulations might not be the answer, but you can't just ignore the fact that there is a question to address. This is nothing at all like dmca / piracy / net neutrality, where the only motives were commercial.
- calgoo 11y agoWe could also do with more liberated freqencies so we don't have to do everything in the same damn range! I believe that most commercial space should be opened up, you could still have licensed ones, but open to anyone who gets a $50 license or similar instead of the stupid system that exists now. Sorry about the mini-rant, i just get so angry every time i see a big range assigned to some company X or Y just because they can spend millions on dinning the people that makes the choices.
