@HopelessDemigod @suzannealdrich Exactly. Somewhere in the 1990s, the FCC forgot that the airwaves, "spectrum", belongs to us, the citizens. It cannot be sold to Google or Verizon. It's not theirs to sell. But I guess people didn't pay attention or didn't understand.

Someday I hope we have a sensible Supreme Court and someone brings a lawsuit that crashes the whole charade. It's public property and you can use it if it benefits all citizens, you behave yourself, AND you perform public service. Verizon performs no public service for their PRIVILEGE to use OUR spectrum.
