[Scan-DC] FCC Gets Into Dispute With Landlord Over Their Nextel Antennas.

I love the David & Goliath symbology of it.

Maybe PRB-1 will be making a comeback due to this?

Actually, I guess not, since it seems even the F.C.C. forgot
about claiming eminent domain over their own building.
Curious, since they could easily wrap themselves in the flag on
this one, since it was part of the NCER effort. I would
have thought the F.C.C. would fight tooth and nail
for Nextel.

Hmmm.
