Facilitate improved public communication. Reserve a portion of analog FM space for unregulated use.

This concept of low wattage FM transmitters for community radio stations is an excellent concept. Back in 1997 Donald Schellhardt, Judith Leggett, and I (Nickolaus Leggett) proposed a low power FM radio service for this purpose (FCC Docket 99-25). After years of work by several thousand Americans, a low power FM radio broadcasting service was approved by the FCC. However, this service was in effect limited to just rural locations. In order to provide this type of service in urban America, the FCC should consider using some millimeter wave allocations for urban community broadcasting. This part of the spectrum has a great capacity for thousands of local broadcasters in urban areas. This would help urban communities and neighborhoods develop. I have proposed this in comments in several FCC rulemaking dockets.

By allowing safe, low wattage, analog FM transmitters on a small reserved space of the FM dial it will allow community radio stations to be created throughout the country to allow better dialogue on issues important to those people. Ultimately, it would dramatically improve the FCC's public image as being an organization that is fighting to give freedom and rights to the citizens and not just the mega corporations of the United States.
