And understand that scarce spectrum is used today for example for cell phone operators, they have to pay for the airwaves they use, for their services.

Joey Ramone

The Eagles and the Captain and Tennille ruled the airwaves, and we were the answer to it.

Without books, we might just melt into the airwaves and be just another set of blips.
