I'm sure their primary motivation is freedom and not money.

If you were to actually RTFA you would see that they freely admit to the free-enterprise (profit = evil?) aspects of freeing up the airwaves.

Why should laws written during the days of Marconi still apply when technology has advanced far beyond those limitations?

Good point. I’m just wondering if Chinese dissidents can get anybody to sign the petitions on their web site. Oh, probably not, since nobody in China can find it. Even with all this new bandwidth, I imagine you’d still have search engines serving as the gatekeepers that could be politically influenced.
