Tell Congress the time is right to open the airwaves

Attention: open in a new window. PrintE-mail
The Federal Communications Commission seems poised to open the airwaves at their November 4 meeting after their engineers gave white space devices the green light earlier this month. But City Council and many of New York's Congressional Representatives, heeding corporate broadcasters over digital expansion advocates, are calling for further delay in a process that has already dragged on for six years. We need New Yorkers to step up and demand public access to public airwaves. Call your Congressional Representative now. For help, use this tool from Free Press
