What would you, Alex or PD propose as an alternative? I wholeheartedly disagree with the group in question and everything they stand for but I don't disagree with their voicing their opinions. According to the PTC website, they have one million members. Do they deserve a voice?

I dont disagree they shouldnt be allowed to voice their opinions / concerns either however, voicing their opinion / concerns and blatently abusing the system are two different matters all together. Its like comparing apples and oranges.
The group in question are obviously tying to force their views on others through the FCC by applying [as i already mentioned] antiquainted standards.
For one of the free-est (is that a word?) countries in the world, there is a hell of a lot of shit we can do, say, watch in the US.

What version of Democracy would permit one brand of special interest group to survive and not another?

No version would however, at the same time, the version we have now obviously isnt working like it should.
Dont get me wrong im dfinately NOT saying focus groups shouldnt have their say. Im saying when it comes to focus groups creating 99.9% of a workload that costs the tax payer money.. thats when something needs to be done about it. Its abuse of the system, nothing more, nothing less.
