FCC Chairman Kevin Martin is out to protect your family from more than a wardrobe malfunction – he wants your free wireless Internet to be skin-free as well.
What free wireless Internet, you say? Oh, that would come as part of the AWS-3 auction. Martin wants a company such as M2Z Networks to operate the network, which supposedly would be funded by advertising.

When you consider that even Google Inc. is showing declining ad revenue, the obvious question is, how will a start-up succeed against the odds? Second, we’re curious to see how the censorship of public airwaves goes over with the masses.
