As an "x" radio guy I can tell you that a barrage of short reasonable letters expressing your concern to the FCC has considerable impact. Federal Communications Commission445 12th Street SW Washington, DC 20554 emailExample letter: Dear Sirs, I would like you to consider the terms of the Broadcast Flag mandate that the FCC is considering at the moment. which my understanding would mandate that all digital television demodulators will have to be designed to be tamper-resistant (i.e., not GPLed). Based on new internet technologies I think there should either be provision made for certain technologies (mentioned below), the mandate altogether stopped, or put off until further review of the technologies mentioned. As a web development company convergence of technologies serves me and my clients as well as builds a future in local, national, and international trade. Premature Government regulation of these technologies impede progress. Thank you for your consideration, Sincerely, x address somewheresville,state zip USA technologies articleEdited 02-21-2003 12:42 PM
