I heard something similar to this about a year ago with Bell Atlantic, and
nothing came out of it. Although I did send a comment, I'm not sure if Bell
Atlantic dropped the issue or if the FCC didn't approve.

I found this on the SkyWarn list and thought it of interest to
all. Does anyone
know if this FCC activity is for real?
