The government certainly should be doing a better job of protecting smaller users of spectrum, including wireless audio.
Hang on. I'll stop laughing in a minute.
Forcing upwards of 30,000 community and school theaters to repeatedly spend tens of thousands of dollars, for many a crippling amount of money out of their limited budgets, is a dramatic, but quiet, assault on the arts.
Waste of money anyway. These people should get real jobs. #sarcasm
“Imagine if athletics had a problem, like if helmets needed to be replaced,” a high school theater director in California told me. “The school would likely step in to help buy new equipment. But for a $30,000 mic problem, schools will simply say, ‘Figure it out.’”
Unless replacing those helmets would mean they didn't make those awesome smashing noises, because brain injuries are important, but you really can't disappoint the fans by taking away their sounds of violence. I mean, they might spend less money, and then where would sports be? Probably kneeling during the national anthem, or something. But I digress.
The high school teacher's point stands. Our society values sports more and arts less. For reasons this post is too narrow to contain.
