I disagree on this. this private entity is using public property for
its purpose (the airwaves). it would be only fair to demand a certain
amount of caring for the public interest in return. say, some amount of
broadcasting (1 hour? say 2 slots of 30 min between 8 am and 10 pm) every 
day reserved for things people might want to say.
