Do byrochrats have that short memories and little minds? TV stations are licensed because they use radio waves to broadcast their messages. That was the original reason - which often still holds. When cable came along, this line was continued although it didn't really fit. Now this???
There are parallels:
Since my front door is accessible for all using a car - must I have a drivers license?
What about telemarketers? Must they be licensed?
Prostitutes are publically available - must they be licensed? And where do I apply for the test positions?
My wife was sunbathing when google took the arial shots for their map - must they be x-rated?
When I debate something with my friend on the bus - should I be licensed too?
When lawyers comes up with such BS - must they pay polution taxes?
