HERE’S A STORY from Wired News about the FCC’s decision on media deregulation. Interestingly, the FCC release is available in Adobe Acrobat and Microsoft Word formats, but not in plain-vanilla HTML. It’s also somewhat disingenuous in that it casts the FCC’s action as limiting concentration, rather than relaxing limits.

The real question, though, is whether the FCC – and in particular Michael Powell, who enjoys the bully pulpit — will support Internet freedom so as to promote the kind of alternative media channels on which the new ruling was based.

UPDATE: Duane Freese, who thinks that all the controversy over this matter is overblown, says that the answer is spectrum for everyone.
