Here's a senator who doesn't get it. The broadcasting spectrum, because it is a limited resource, is considered a public property, and therefor subject to community standards that it be used in the public interest. Cable and satellite transmissions happen over private networks which don't impinge on anyone's ability to create their own private broadcasts. If the government has the right to censor private networks, they have the right to censor books, magazines, public speech, internet communications, &c.
Oh, wait. Maybe Senator Stevens does get all that.
F*&k.
