>JUNE 14 - AMSTERDAM

>The Dutch government's recently implemented Zerobase Radio
>Frequency Policy is designed to control and regulate free
>use of the ether by commercial radio stations. On May 23
>this year most available space on the Dutch airwaves was
>auctioned off to the highest bidder. It should come as no
>surprise to anyone that as a result of this auction it has
>become clear that for the next eight years only the
>biggest, most commercially and mainstream oriented
>stations will be able to exploit the remaining Dutch
>frequencies. The government's claim to preserve diversity
>in the new airwave distribution has proven to be a fraud.
>
>The ZeroBase Policy acknowledges only two kinds of radio:
>public and commercial. Any radio formats that don't fit
>within either of these categories have in effect become
>criminal organisations. Zerobase's nasty little brother
>"Project Etherflits", an initiative of the Department of
>Economic Affairs, has since March of this year been
>pro-actively identifying and tracking "illegal"
>broadcasters throughout the North and East of the country,
>confiscating studio equipment and imposing large fines.
>Many stations have already been forced off the air.
>Recently strong rumours have been circulating that the
>mayor of Amsterdam has granted permission to use police
>and riot-control forces to get rid of the city's Free
>Radio stations - Radio 100, Radio Patapoe and Radio de
>Vrije Keyser. Although Free Radio culture in the
>Netherlands has a long history and remains innovative,
>popular and highly valued as an important cultural and
>political resource, Free Radio is neither public or
>commercial. Thus, under the Zerobase legislation these
>stations will never be granted a legal broadcasting
>permit. Nowhere in Europe have legislators been so blind
>to active, independent radio-making culture. This needs to
>be changed.
>
>During its twenty-five years of existence Dutch Free Radio
>has been a beacon of Dutch and international fringe
>cultures, alternative political action and social change.
>An extraordinarily diverse range of radio makers have
>seized the chance to express and promote their culture and
>present [counter]information in a way that would be
>impossible under the rules and regulations of the
>so-called "free" market.
>
>Free Radio is an initiator of and participant in an
>important broad (sub)cultural coalition. Because of the
>ill-defined definitions of legislators, THE CONTINUING
>EXISTENCE OF FREE RADIO IN THE NETHERLANDS IS NOW UNDER
>SERIOUS THREAT.
>
>THE DUTCH FREE RADIOS NOW PROTEST AGAINST THIS SHOCKING
>DEVELOPMENT.
>
>WE URGENTLY DEMAND THAT THE DUTCH GOVERNMENT ACKNOWLEDGES
>NON-COMMERCIAL, NON-PUBLIC FREE RADIO AS A SEPERATE LEGAL
>RADIO CATEGORY WITHIN THE NATIONAL FREQUENCY POLICY. THAT
>IS TO SAY THAT  LOW-COST, FREE-ACCESS DOMAINS IN THE ETHER
>MUST BE CREATED.
>
>To support this demand, to shed light on our situation,
>and to discuss possible solutions, the Dutch Free Radios
>are organizing a huge radio event in Amsterdam on June 14
>at 5 different locations in and around the Vondelpark.....
>
>100,000 ANTENNAS - FREE RADIO MANIFESTATION
>
>.... to show that we are still alive and kicking, and how
>much we will be missed if Dutch politicians fail to end
>the threat to Free Radio stations in the Netherlands.
