Almost six and a half years ago, "The Telecommunications Act Of 1996" was signed into law relaxing the amount of stations an entity can directly or indirectly own in a single market. Since then a large number of companies have helped to build a monopolistic hold over the radio and concert industry. These companies have contributed to the elimination of localism, diversity, and competition which is the exact opposite of what the signing of the act was supposed to do.

In the act, it is stated that if public opinion is not deemed important towards the final decision of the law, then all rules will be eliminated and a company may own and operate as many stations as they feel per market. The companies that run those stations, in one form or another, have stated that public opinion should not count towards a final decision, but as everyone knows, the only reason they state this is so they can run the possibility of owning a more considerable portion of the country's radio stations. Now the biennial review of "The Telecommunications Act Of 1996" has begun and it is time for change and re-regulation.

To the parties addressed in the introduction, the signatures below are proof that public interest does exist in this matter and should count towards the final decision of the review.
