Abstract

This article examines response to the 1999 Low Power Radio Service Notice of Proposed Rulemaking by the Federal Communications Commission, and the implications for the micro radio and other activist movements.  As this article illustrates, the Internet played an important role in the response process, and the author concludes that the ability to act, react, and organize effectively and in a timely manner has allowed broad-based, diverse, but scattered, under-funded, and often divisive coalition to challenge some of America’s most powerful media organizations.
