Victory for Low Power Radio

The low power radio amendment to the telecom bill just passed the Senate Commerce Committee.  This is a step in the right direction -- low power radio stations cater to the specific needs of local communities, unlike some corporate radio owners I know (cough, Clear Channel, cough).

Thank you to everyone who made calls to their Senators over the past week.  And thank you to the bipartisan group of 14 Senators who did the right thing:  Senators McCain, Allen, Boxer, Cantwell, Dorgan, Inouye, Kerry, Lautenberg, Lott, Nelson, Pryor, Rockefeller, Sununu, and Vitter.

Net neutrality is up next, we'll post an update shortly after the vote happens.
