Is there a real problem to be solved by this proposed legislation?
Of course, in theory, it's necessary that radio stations not transmit on the same frequency too close to each other, or there's interference. If this is happening in practice, then increased enforcement might well be called for.
If, on the other hand, interference isn't happening in practice, then increased enforcement seems like both a waste of resources and... is there a name for social benefit coming out of things being in a legal grey area?

- moftz 7y agoIf demand for spectrum is low in a certain area and there is plenty available for these pirate stations, then just have an easier process to become legit. There obviously needs to be some sort of process to make sure everyone is playing fair, you can't have total anarchy on the spectrum but there could be less burdensome application process for lower power stations that can prove they are operating for the common good. If you are just playing music and running used car dealer ads, you can go through the normal registration process.
