Re: 1 year + 90 days is plenty of time to decide
Um...yes the rule DOES need fixing. It's terrible and illogical.
The FCC doesn't need a "fire" to keep it peppy. It needs less Republicans nominating people who cater to special-interests.
Unfortunately the FCC has done all it can for the forebearance issue. It's up to Congress to go on from here.
A year ago a bill was proposed in Congress in an attempt to fix the problem, but the bill went nowhere. Hopefully someone can resuscitate the bill. |

Exactly. Many, many bills proposed by some very consumer-oriented Democrats (like Rep. Eric Massa) are frequently gutted and mangled by Republicans, and Democrats have to compromise to have any hope of getting the bill through.
Not that Democrats themselves are perfect, but their philosophy is by and large much less corporation-favoring than Republicans. |

It's not just the republicans. The Dem's take as much money from the communication companies (and their unions) than the Repub's do. The issue is interference in an agency that should be guided by science and consumer protection. The FCC should be structured more like the Fed with lifetime appointments, approval of congress and a firm commitment to consumer protection being the primary basis for appointment. |

Unfortunately it's because people like you spread lies and slander disguised as "truth" about topics that others know very little about. I feel compelled to show them the other side. |

Considering how a lot of policy initiated or bills proposed by Democrats tends to be unfavorable towards those companies, I suspect the CEOs aren't the ones handing out campaign money for the Dems.
Either way I totally agree with you about how the FCC should be structured. Were that the case, there's no question the broadband industry would leapfrog the rest of the world in less than a decade. |
