The public airwaves provide a chance to affirm we want to be a good, decent people; a good, decent nation.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The public owns the airwaves; Congress gave them to broadcasters for free, with the understanding that they would serve the public interest while trying to maximize profit. An aspect of serving the public is to use the immense power of electronic media to reflect evolving standards of respect for other people.
The public gets not one penny from them in return for those airwaves.
With us air people, the future of our nation is indissolubly bound up in the development of air power.
The concept that you cannot own the airwaves has caused far more harm than good.
The ability for consumers to receive broadcast over the air signal is their right.
And I believe that good journalism, good television, can make our world a better place.
AIR was born from thinking about how rich Internet applications would play out over time and what new pieces of technology would be in demand for these to go to their next generation.
Giving people what they want isn't just good radio; it's also the right way to run a country.
The NBC using us on air is a great endorsement of quality.
It's not written in the Constitution or anything else.... Congress, just out of the clear blue sky, said the airwaves belong to the people, which means, in essence, that it belongs to Congress.
