Rick didn't need to obtain a mandate from anyone, Chuck. The FCC accepts
proposals from all citizens.
You are entitled to believe that "nothing is necessarily wrong", but that's
hardly a compelling argument for Rick to back down.
Encouraging the FCC to clear up the ambiguity and inconsistency in its
regulations is a very good idea, and I'm glad that Rick has taken this
action.

So, Rick, from whom did you get your mandate to take action?
It certainly was not me. I don't even use any of those modes,
but I do not appreciate activists who have to "take action" when
nothing is necessarily wrong. If you want to feel powerful,
why don't you run for office or something?
Don't take this personally, please.
