I like the idea about the right to receive anything. However, if you're watching BBC, then you are in effect subscribing to it, and so I can see the rationale for a license to receive. (just as there is a subscription to satellite radio)
Some folks also think it's their right to transmit without an license. Fortunately they are few and far between, but there are some who insist it's a right, not a privilege to use the radio spectrum. I've got my license and I use it sparingly and at lowest power necessary to make a QSO. _______________________________________________________________________________ Ralph McDiarmid | Schneider Electric | Solar Business | CANADA | Regulatory Compliance Engineering From: "ce-test, qualified testing bv - Gert Gremmen" <g.grem...@cetest.nl> To: EMC-PSTC@LISTSERV.IEEE.ORG Date: 08/07/2012 11:13 PM Subject: [PSES] FW: [PSES] EU sets EMC limits for London Olympics In the Netherlands the "right to receive" is very well defended, to the extent that speed radar detection systems cannot be prohibited. The right to receive is seen in the same way as the right to speak , which is not so odd because having the right to speak when no one listens makes no sense ;<) This is not the same all over Europe, in spite of trying to harmonise legislaton.

John & Chris, do you agree with that? Yes: the GPO owned the spectrum. -- OOO - Own Opinions Only.
