And we're going to get more granular.

You can't have any fixed or permanent transmitters installed unless you get approval from the NRQZ and the FCC.

What's the NTIA?

Okay.

Good to know.

So you can't build any big permanent things there.

So that means just within that big 13,000 square mile rectangle, just somebody living there doesn't have to worry too much.

That means that no company can come in and build something really big.

Yeah, for sure.

Like if you read and I had heard of this before at some point, like I saw some news report or read an article that portray it as like, you know, it's like going back in time, basically.

And we'll get to the ways it is sort of like that, but it's not entirely like that.

They've never entirely banned any kind of radio transmission.

It's just really regulated.

Like they have certain radio broadcasts because they have to have those emergency transmissions that we talked about in communications in the AM radio episode.

Those have always been there.

You can have TV.

It is restricted, but they permit like cable TV and even satellite TV, which kind of surprises me.

And Wi-Fi was not available for a long, long time until I think just last year.

But they could have wired Internet with the Ethernet cable.

Right.
