Well, and with the Trump admin incoming: they’re not wrong. The FCC will probably be gone within two years.

It won’t be gone. How else will they make good on their threat of shutting down media companies that say things they don’t like?

I wish the FCC would lighten up the amateur radio rules tho. Cool stuff like Meshtastic is happening outside of licenced bands and is taking off

Or we could actually make some stuff in the US/EU for a change. I know it takes time but it’s probably for the best in the long run

More likely they’ll close all those bands so that corpos can use them for profit.

It won’t be gone, it’ll be used to ensure the most powerful companies in the country never, ever, have any legitimate competition, and can do whatever the fuck they want. They’ll write whatever laws these companies want. They’ll make it illegal to try to start a new telecom.
