Yes, the modem surcharge is old news, but this thread is about the FCC
tightening up indecency laws. Or shall we say, stranguling broadcasters.
The FCC is suing to revoke the license of a DJ who said "masturbate" on
the air...

The FCC is having a hearing soon, hoping to put a 24 hour ban on
"indecent broadcasting". It reminds me of the bad old days, when the
Germans forbade all Jazz from the airwaves. (Jazz was indecent, and
no-one minded the ban because no moral, patriotic German would listen to
jazz anyway).
