I tend to agree with this notion;  however if one plans to construct 
a project that's expensive and difficult to move, it's necessary to 
understand the response of the FCC, as they are one of several gov't 
agencies that could bring complete disaster to the project.  
Prudence would require knowing their response before commiting
resources.
