FCC Says Yes (Score 1)

I submtted this as an article, but it hasn't surfaced yet, so here's the dirt: The FCC has legalized micro-broadcasting for stations with maximum power levels of 10 watts and 100 watts. The 10 watt stations would reach an area with a radius of between one and two miles, the 100 watt stations would reach an area with a radius of approximately three and a half miles. For the first couple of years the licenses will go exclusively to locals. And they'll never go to commercial entities. They say they'll begin taking applications in the next couple of months. The official FCC statement is up at The FCC website.
