I see where you are coming from, el. Sure, to some it may seem like cheaper prices and to others, the sheer conviencence will be staggering to them.

But to those who's interests lie not within a computer box. To those who live for airwave communications in the same way you and I live for computers.... they will be hindered beyond belief. Imagine if suddenly they decided to combine your cable/DSL line with the water system. It would be cheaper, and they would somehow figure out a way emit transmissions via water. However... your DSL would be scrambled far too often by the imact of the water now being an essential part of your line.

That same *forced* technology is going to impact Radio Amatures, and other electronic devices that are regulated by the FCC. In short, this could impact many major peices of equipment because they FCC can be paid to overlook the inconvience it causes others.

This is very much like the Jew/Hitler combination. You don't kill off a million people just because their presence is not convient for your race. And thus you certainly do not eliminate the very space other ethusiasts use in their day to day lives because it is convienient(too tired to spell properly) and profitable to a larger company.
