4.8 Seems to be dicey, but I suspect a case may be made for current
affairs with a 'community' scope. 

4.16 Can some do a back of the envelope calculation (Vickram?) for what
it might cost to preserve 6 months of tapes, making some assumptions
about kinds of tapes, and 12hr/24 hour telecast schedule? It isn't clear
if MP3s
will work, but at 6MB for a 1/2 hour, it works out to approx a 55GB
requirement for 24hrs/6 months. 

Also, does anyone have the contact info (functional email address) for
the MIB bureaucrats who handle this area? I can't seem to find it on
their website and the webform to submit a query is not working!
