[QUOTE=&quot;FOX TV, post: 79381, member: 4493&quot;]More &amp;quot;About the money&amp;quot; comments&quot;provides for the reallocation of other spectrum for auction to commercial users, in order to offset the loss of revenue that would occur as the result of the allocation of the D-Block to Public Safety instead of commercial auction.&quot;Again, as I have pointed out sooooo many times, this statement proves it is all about the money. There should be no financial loss, as this portion of the band was&nbsp; surrendered by UHF broadcasters, and was already supposed to be allocated to public service agencies in the transition in the first place. It was part of the former UHF TV band, so who is going to lose if they use it as it was intended in the first place? The TV Broadcasters have already suffered financial loss because of it.That was part of the &quot;LOGIC&quot; given for the transition in the first place. D-block was supposed to be given to first responders in the first place. They didn't give a dam about the &quot;loss of revenue that would occur as the result&quot; from the DTV Transition, as absolutely no tax breaks or incentives were given to TV Broadcasters. And some are still paying the debt for that in many cases.20 years ago, no one really gave a dam or even paid any attention to the radio spectrum in general, as it was the unseen public resource that only taxi cabs, public safety workers, Ham Radio Geeks and radio DX'ers cared about, but once CELL PHONES became popular, the broadband industry turned into a bunch of Robber Barons taking a phrase from the past, and started an all out campaign to steal a public resource for their own benefit.Compare this to a national forest where logging company A comes along and is granted the right to take all of the trees they want, and to take all of the profits with them. I don't think the American Public would be comfortable with this scenario, but they are to blind to see this as the same thing, which it is. This is nothing short of capitalism out of control. People always accuse the GOP as being sided with the rich, but it looks like this is being done by Osama's goon squad, so how can the GOP be the bad guy in this latest raping of an American &quot;PUBLIC RESOURCE&quot; for private profit, on the backs of the technologically gullible American SHEEPLE. The Broad Band Industry could settle this nations debt in a few short years if they only devoted a portion of their profit to that purpose for their use of a public resource, and if this ever headed in that direction, then i wouldn't have as big a problem with it as I do now. There should be some type of pay back to the American SHEEPLE for us allowing them to use &quot;OUR RADIO SPECTRUM&quot;, as TV Broadcasters have had to do since they were first &quot;ALLOWED&quot; to use the spectrum. Why should the Broad Band industry get a free ride?[/QUOTE]
