Re: Um...
I believe the dysfunction here is truly bi-partisan in nature. Copps (a Democrat) is currently in charge, with he, Adelstein (a Democrat) and McDowell (Republican) also poised to sign off on these conditions.... |

| Copps can't do anything until Genachowski, his new boss, has the authority.
And really it's less about whether an individual considers himself Democratic or Republican, and more about the organization as a whole, and which party dominates its appointees. |

1 edit | Copps can't do anything until Genachowski, his new boss, has the authority. Nope. Copps and the current three member panel can (and according to people in DC and the WSJ) are about to sign off on the merger before Genachowski even gets approved. |

said by Karl Bode  :I believe the dysfunction here is truly bi-partisan in nature. What dysfunction? The FCC was designed from the get-go to protect these companies from each other and create something of a market, which is pretty much what they've been doing for the last 75 years. Consumer protection is something that, if it happens in the pursuit of that goal, is just a pleasant accident. At no time has the FCC ever actually been a consumer-driven agency. |

and don't forget, this government isn't working for the public right now, it's working for big business - that's bi-partisan too. |
