This article documents that (some) US officials already understood the importance of amateur radio in the meaning of my last blog entry.

Unfortunately a radio amateur talks about amateur radio as "a dying thing right now because people are going to the Internet." That's too pessimistic from my point of view and may implicit a self-fulfilling prophecy.
