| Time is not money to the FCC
You're talking about a bureaucracy which can take two years or more to just look at an application while the applicant sits and spins and sometimes loses enough money that the application is moot if granted.
That they're still stuck in 1998 on broadband statistical measurement methods is no surprise.

| FCC leadership doesn't want better data
If the FCC were to collect data that told the true story of broadband in the U.S., they would be forced by the 1996 telecom act to do something about it (other than de-regulating the telcos and passing regulations that hamstring competitors to the telcos and cablecos).
The current FCC has no interest in doing what's good for the consumer. I am interested to see what they end up doing to help collect better data, but I'll bet it won't help matters - they will either continue to hamstring data collection, or if better data collection happens, they will just ignore the data. |

| Notice of Propose Rule Making
Working on a gov agency I can tell you that NPR can be greatly modified based on the industry comments. So, is this a chance for the users to speak-up.... or an open door for telecom and cable to redraft the law (even more to their benefit)?
Is your call, all the complaints and comments you all have wrote over the years in regards to the FCC data collection method must be channel now to the fcc while the comment period is open. |

Banks, OR | Yup. Anyone can submit a comment to the FCC, and the FCC must respond to the comments received when it later issues a Rulemaking. |

Re: Time is not money to the FCC
Put this guy in-charge and the FCC will be doing a lot of different things unlike the current corrupt bunch.

| I'd be happy if, instead of running for president, he would just take care of the people who elected him to the Senate. 
While I admire your conviction, it's naive to think that Obama would be able to get anything done in DC unless even more changes happen in Congress.

| What you mean actually change the system? Impossible. Inconceivable. Ludicrous. [Insert random blustering for another 10 minutes] This can only change if [insert party you oppose] agrees to do [more meaningless and irrelevant blustering here]
Thank you for watching CSPAN.
Sidenote:
I like Obama as much or more than any of the current front runners, but I have no confidence that things will change. Not without wholesale alterations placing more responsibility and especially accountability on those that are elected. |

Even Bush I would be a solid positive step in a better direction. Throwing a smart and charismatic leader in will definitely be a change. Will it be enough to end all corruption, get our whole government, country, political climate, budget, and on and on back together? No. But to claim things won't change is patently wrong.

Obama is OK, but saying you like him better is like saying you like one thug over another because he only hits you in the knees with his baseball bat rather than your knees and your head like the other guy.
Looks like it's going to be another round of picking the least vile alternative in 2008.

Hey, I voted for him and like the guy as a Senator. But pinning any expectation of change in DC on one guy is insane.

While I admire your conviction, it's naive to think that Obama would be able to get anything done in DC unless even more changes happen in Congress. One thing I see in him is he's taken no money from PACs or lobbyists. He returned $50,000 he got from them. In a 4-16 poll, he's in a dead heat with, ughhh, Hillary. He actually outraised Hillary $19-12.5 million from 2x the number of donors.
Rudy, my former mayor, wasn't that great. 9-11 gave that illusion. Hillary doesn't care about anything but her becoming President.
Nobody can change that crooked system, but anyone willing to try, and seems sincere about it, has my vote.
Sen. Thompson quit because he was lazy and said, "it was too much work." (paraphrase) Cheney redux?
Edwards is lying every time he opens his meely mouth. Newt is a nut, Romney is just plain weird, and the rest don't even require a mention.
I wouldn't be surprised if Iraq is over in a year. The Shiites want us out (probably so they can kill the Suunnies (sic). |
