- I am familiar with the television stations from Rhode Island to Maine;
- the spectrum is not full. Further, there have been several stations at
- various frequencies that have gone off the air due to commercial
- reasons, not technical or national interest. Therefore, those
- frequencies are available for use -- the spectrum is not full; there is
- no excuse for government censorship.
