I definitely don't want the government having anything to do with the 
morality of my children.  However, the very root of this country is 
based of "freedom as long as it doesn't interfere with someone else's 
freedom."  Whether that's actually being practiced now is off-topic, but 
someone needs to step in and sort out frequencies.  My example of 
everything talking on the same frequency is a perfect one.  I can only 
imagine what would happen to LP Broadband's business if I started a cell 
phone company on the 5.2GHz frequency range.  The government seems as a 
good a group as any.  I certainly wouldn't want AT&T or Verizon doing it 
(although I'm sure someone thinks they are...).
