Howard's Beginning

The FCC has declined to extend its current prohibitions on "indecency" to satellite digital audio radio services such as Sirius and XM.
"[c]onsistent with existing case law, the Commission does not impose regulations regarding indecency on services lacking the indiscriminate access to children that characterizes broadcasting." Harriscope of Chicago, Inc., 3 FCC Rcd 757, 760 n.2 (1988), citing Cruz v. Ferre, 755 F.2d 1415, 1420 (11th Cir. 1985) and Jones v. Wilkerson, 800 F. 2d 989 (10th Cir. 1986), aff’d, 480 U.S. 926 (1987).
So Jeff Jarvis can relax: at least this system doesn't need to be gamed.
