AGAINST MICRO-RADIO: Last year the American Federal Communications
Commission decided to allow micro-radio broadcasting. The commercial
radio industry screamed in protest. And so did National Public
Radio. Indeed, NPR's objection to the plan is seen as one reason
the idea (intended to help diversity in a rapidly consolidating
radio market) might fail to be implemented.The

LOW-POWER
REVOLUTION: This morning
the Federal Communications Commission votes on whether to allow
low-power radio stations. If yes, it will revolutionize the
FM radio landscape and thousands of low-wattage new stations
could spring up around the country. Existing FM stations oppose
the idea. Washington
