Promoting diverse culture: Yes
Promoting economic lolly-throws: No

Like most IT-minded folk I want to see free and open ownership of more things - particularly the spectrum. Nobody needs to own it, we just all have to go digital. Then we can broadcast whatever we want as much and as hard as we want.

I have no problem with Maori radio being assigned a chunk of spectrum to promote their culture (and I take exception to George FM using it like a joke) but I don't think a minority should be assigned ownership of a commodity for their economic benefit. They can struggle in the mud with the rest of us for fucks sake.
