TiVo vs. Broadcast Flag Wavers
Rob Pegoraro of the Washington Post has an excellent commentary on the FCC's broadcast flag requirements.

Most of the focus of the article is on the battle between TiVo and the NFL/MPAA. Pegoraro goes into much more background about the underlying debate than I've seen in other coverage of the topic.

It's a great primer for anyone interested in broadcast flags and the threat they pose to freedom and innovation.
