LAWMAKERS PROPOSE REVERSAL OF NET RADIO FEE INCREASES

This article is interesting because it shows that power in numbers does still exist apart from the numbers of one's bank account. Clearly, the voices of many internet radio stations were heard in the proposition of this new bill. Of course, it has still yet to be passed, but that fact that congress is taking note is significant. If no major progress is made soon, it is likely that these internet broadcasters will continue to apply pressure on lawmakers. It is important to note on one hand the founding father's repeated stress of the importance of a strong media to keep the public well-informed. And despite the best attempts at some of the richest and most powerful men in the world, the internet continues to be an unregulated and increasingly important source of news for people worldwide.
