  • "And so I say – once again – that AT&T is holding Apple back when it comes to massive adoption in the United States. There are people – myself included – who would buy an iPhone today if it were available on another carrier. And now that the standard device is priced as low as $99, it’s almost a no-brainer of a purchase – but I still wouldn’t do it." = yeah, there are a lot of people in that boat.

  • "It’s criminal to not have a website as a freelancer these days. You need your own corner of the digital universe where people can easily learn who you are and peruse your samples and/or client testimonials." – the same could be said for any journalist starting out these days. Buy your name. Now!

Radio stations urge Congress to stop the fee madness

June 8, 2009 in College Media News, industry news

College and high school radio stations urge Congress to oppose record-label supported legislation

In a letter to members of Congress delivered earlier today under the banner of the Free Radio Alliance and the College Broadcasters Inc. (CBI), faculty, staff, and students from more than 80 stations including Duke University, Harvard University, the University of Wisconsin, SUNY-Brockport, Rice University and Virginia Tech argued that “other serious threats” would result from the passage of the performance fee.

College Broadcasters, Inc. has been leading the charge to stop ridiculous fees from the recording industry that would probably put a lot of college radio stations out of business. Hat tip to those folks for leading the way. Let’s hope there’s some common sense in Congress about these fees.
