p2pnet news view |  Kids & Kartels:- What is the difference between AM radio and FM radio? What is Broadband? What is Telecommunications Relay Service? How do Descramblers work? How does a V-Chip work?

To answer these, and other questions of significance to American kids such as, “What is unacceptable language for radio and television?” - “Why do all FM radio stations end in an odd number?” - “How does a fax machine work?” - the FCC has launched the Kidszone site.

Hosted by Broadband the Cat, it features “lively graphics and sound,” says the FCC.

“It is a safe place for children to explore. They can participate in positive, fun activities and learn something while they’re at it. The site also has opportunities for kids to let us know their opinions and we’ll continually update the site to reflect their interests and concerns.”

With Broadband the Grimacing Cat (check out the animation ; ) prowling around, how long before Willy the Copyright Crusading Weasel is helping out with additional ‘educational’ material?

And of course, the MPAA is always ready with self-serving ‘educational’ assistance.
