Re: It's the (crooked) FCC!

I'll have you know that I think that Martin is the best FCC chairman that money can buy. Besides he has his future multi-million dollar/yr consulting gig with the incumbent telcos to think of. How can you possibly expect him to find time to look out for the peasantry when he has far more profitable things to do with his time in office?

actually, I have heard he is interested in running for political office.

so first he will suck up some telco contributions, spend X years (assuming he is elected) pushing the telco agenda on the hill, THEN he will take the multi-million dollar job, probably lobbying the people on the hill he worked with.

If he doesn't get elected, he will step right into the lobbying job.

Now that's a job plan.

Face it. No matter what he does, Kevin Martin is set for life.

He might actually prove more effective as a lobbyist than the actual FCC comish.

I actually would like him to set up the acquisition of AT&T by Verizon, then the acquisition of Quest by Verizon.

BELL SYSTEM - BELL SYSTEM - BELL SYSTEM !!!.

Don't get me wrong, I prefer Western Electric for their phones and vacuum tubes alone.

Give the government 56 years to break it all up again.

It all gives C-SPAN 1,2,3 some quality programming to broadcast for decades.

I remember simply 'The Phone Company', I would not mind that concept returning to real life.

Of course, I would love to watch the re-breakup too.

Now thats entertainment.......
