The logic the FCC used on this ruling was strictly "knee jerk"! For
some reason,
the government likes the "ban" regulations. It is not unlike the stupid
magazine limit requirement on semi-auto guns.
Instead of concentrating on "law breakers", it is 'easier' to 'ban'
something or activity, and make everyone who engages in it a criminal. It
surprises me they didn't make the winding of resonant tank circuits with
wire bigger than 20 guage illegal!
At the rate they are going, everything we enjoy now will be illegal in 10-20
years!
