I didn't know that a government could have the right to something like the em-spectrum. I know they distribute the frequency codes and such things, but I don't think they can own it per se. But on the other side, this distribution comes closest to owning something like a spectruum.
I believe it was one of those days, when everyone was enjoying a free-time and had his little helpers sitting in the senate and they decided to confiscate it.
Sometimes I'd like to have politicians liable to the deeds they do as to see whether they could defend their propositions before a trial. (I highly doubt that)
Well, I knew that the em-spectrum and its use is under control of the government in German, but I didn't thought something like that would happen in a country where a free-market should rule. It seems that the term free-market has even stumbled in the US. Well, then I welcome you in the European nightmare of over-regulation (looking at your patriot act and some social responisbility laws, you seem to catch up ;) ).
Well, bad new world for all of us... Am I pessimistic today? perhaps, but it was a long day.
