"Your airwaves, your Voice" John Kerry and Anna Eshoo op-ed

[div class = "excerpt"]
Our Congress is broken. And this week, the House Republicans will again show you how and why.

They will bring to the Floor for a vote, legislation that takes the American people's need to extend a middle class tax cut and turns it into a vehicle to hinder the ability of everyday people and entrepreneurs to access the public airwaves' unlimited potential as a platform for new wireless communications and services.

This is a time for America's net roots to speak up loudly and clearly.

Hidden in this week's Republican-backed legislation is a provision prohibiting the Federal Communications Commission from encouraging new entrants into the wireless market. It would close the door to new innovation by prohibiting access to our nation's best airwaves for unlicensed use, in a way similar to how Wi-Fi operates today but on a larger scale.
