WTO and media diversity

Free Press have issued an alert and petition about media related proposals at the WTO’s meeting in Cancun. As they say:

If the WTO gets a strong grip on Communications and Audiovisual Services, US regulations that favor media diversity, localism and the public interest could be attacked as “barriers to trade.” Media ownership limits, as well as Federal and state programs that encourage diverse media, could be considered outright trade violations.
