"I'd rather have some sort of legal mechanism in place that offers some protections from the whims etc of corporate interests."

Who do you think pays for the "legal mechanism"? Check out http://www.opensecrets.org/ The government doesn't work for you, they work for the companies who pay for their campaigns and perks.

I admit that there are circumstances where government oversight can be beneficial such as public utilities. I just don't think that any of the recent issues have qualified.
Capitalism at work? Think before you speak. This copyright crap is actually the antithesis of competitive capitalism. No matter what purpose copyrights are MEANT to serve, they are being used to centralize control of specific economic markets.

Milton Friedman argued that centralized control of economic activity is always accompanied by political repression. In his view, transactions in a market economy are voluntary, and the wide diversity that voluntary activity permits is a fundamental threat to repressive political leaders and greatly diminish power to coerce. Friedman's view was also shared by Friedrich Hayek and John Maynard Keynes, both of whom believed that capitalism is vital for freedom to survive and thrive.

Every time the government creates laws and intrudes on business to serve a single company or conglomerate we take one step closer to Friedman's fears.
It's completely inaccurate to compare an individual operating one of these devices with a very limited range from a company putting up a cell site.

I expect this device operates at a low power, not to exceed one watt, and its signals carry only a few hundred feet, whereas commercial tower transmitters may operate at a million watts of power and have a service radius measured in dozens of miles.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I just moved into a new apartment and have been reading about all of the new power strips out there, especially the green ones. I was wondering if you had any suggestions about which "green "power strips are out there with decent joules ratings. And when I say green, I mean power strips that have the remotes or switches to turn off all electricity flowing to certain plugs and with at least 2 plugs that are always on. I was looking specifically at sub $50 because I will need two, but if that is not possible I could be convinced otherwise. Thanks!"
