Long Beach, CA | Idiot Kevin Martin is an idiot. The FCC changes the number of channels a company can own and then wonders why the cost of cable and satellite is so high? I think it should be a requirement that FCC Commissioners be required to take IQ test and score above 100.
The more channels a single company operates the more they can ask for the price to wholesale the bundle of channels. Think about it. ESPN and Disney channel come bundled together since they are both owned by Disney.
On the bright side I hope that the new Chairman (or Chairwoman) will have the knowledge and foresight to break things down and give companies like Charter a fighting chance. If the operating cost were lower Charter may be able to use some of that ingenuity that Paul Allen mustered during his years at Microsoft.
We shall see. |

Canonsburg, PA | said by niccolus:Kevin Martin is an idiot. No he's not and I'm sure he would score over 100 on an IQ test. Despite many words out of his mouth to the contrary, Kevin Martin has shown by how he sets the agenda as Chairman and his votes as Commissioner that he doesn't give a rat's ass about consumers. Yes he is considering a future career as a politician. |

Re: Idiot The President gets to choose who's the chair of the commission so I'd expect that to change in the coming months. There are also three chairmen (Copps, Adelstein, and McDowell) that are expiring next year. McDowell will be replaced first (thank God) mid year with the other two coming at the end of the year. McDowell will likely be replaced by a democrat (giving them the majority) and then one of the other two can be democrat but not both. |
