This is the single most ignorant comment I've seen on HN in a long time.
but of course the government will use it for censorship just like the FCC nowadays censors the TV and Radio.
You mean how OTA broadcasts are supposed to be family friendly between certain hours of the day? The horror.
but of course what ends up happening is that now you have to get a license from the government to say something on radio waves.
No, you need to get a license for a certain chunk of spectrum and demonstrate that you know how to design and operate your equipment in such a way that you're not going to ruin the airwaves for everyone else. There is a DAMN good reason that the EM spectrum is not a free for all! How would you like the local EMS service to be unable to communicate because some random down the street decided to start playing music on their band?
