[cr-india] Redefining CR??

[Arun Mehta]

Good points, Kanchan. I do not see why we need to have separate
categories for public broadcaster and community broadcaster. Why does
India have only one public broadcaster? If we admit there there could
me more, and start to define criteria for who should be allowed to set
up a public broacasting service, we will find ourselves pretty much
laying down the same criteria as we have done for community
broadcasters.

This would go very well with a policy for unlicensed secondary use of
the FM band for transmitters under 5 Watts, as is the case in Citizens
Band radio.
