Dear MAC Colleagues, I thought you might be interested in information
about the campaign to provide millions of Americans with high-speed Internet
access. You know people of color are disproportionately represented on the
disadvantaged side of the digital divide. See the information regarding the
Free Press vs. NAB controversy.

Dear Dr. E-K.,
"They're Ba-ack..." This Halloween, the powerful lobbyists at the National
Association of Broadcasters (NAB) are trying to scare Washington with horror
stories about "white spaces" -- vacant TV channels that can be used
to bring high-speed Internet to rural and low-income Americans across the
country. The NAB’s hired guns have bombarded policy makers with false
claims in a desperate, last-ditch attempt to hoard these airwaves and to
disrupt a critical FCC vote taking place in just six days. The FCC's five commissioners must not buckle under the intense
lobbying pressure: Tell the
FCC: Don't Give in to NAB Scare Tactics Here are the facts:
The NAB is furiously spending millions of dollars on dirty
tricks and political intimidation to scare the FCC away from white spaces. They
have high-priced lawyers and lobbyists, but we have you. Take just one minute to sign this Halloween action card and forward it to
your friends. Free Press will deliver your cards to the FCC on Halloween
and make sure they "treat" us by opening white spaces for eveyone's
benefit: This
Halloween: Stand Up to the Lobbyists' Scare Tactics With your support today, we'll expose Big Media's
fear-mongering and make certain that white spaces are used to make fast,
affordable Internet service a reality for everyone. Thanks, Timothy Karr 1. Maybe NAB lobbyists have seen Poltergeist one too
many times. But whatever the case, we need to set the record straight by the
time FCC commissioners gather to decide the future of white spaces on
November 4. Click
