[FedCom] Time to declassify Federal frequency assignments?

[Rankin, Robert L]

While they're at it, they could think about repealing the 869-890 coverage ban on radio gear, now that everything is digital and unintelligible.  People still wouldn't be able to listen to cell calls, but manufacturers wouldn't have to produce several completely different versions of their products.  I suppose there are one or two analog systems left in rural North Dakalina to prevent that. . . .

The White House has asked citizens to submit ideas for a more
transparent and open government, and started an online brainstorming
session that will run through Wednesday 28. You can see the call for
ideas here:

http://opengov.ideascale.com/

I have submitted a suggestion that the government review and
declassify most (if not all) Federal radio frequency assignment
information. If you are interested in this matter and wish to vote
thumbs up or down on this issue, or make a comment, you may visit
here:

The ideas that receive a higher number of positive votes may be
turned into policy recommendations for the government to consider.
Please consider voting on this idea if you have an opinion.

Thanks, and all best,
Rick
