[SBE] The future of Broadcasting.

[Alvaro Rodriguez]

Its not impossible, but look for some push-back.
The solar installers are trying to get allowed to do some electrical 
work, but in Texas, state laws won't allow it (thank GOD) and city codes 
only allow master electricians to pull the permits required for such 
work.  But, can our telecommunications brothers help?  I also think that 
SBE is much more organized than the solar guys, but this solar battle 
may have lessons or short cuts to achieve our goal.
