The reason this sort of thing happens is because the FCC is lazy, disorganized, and let's thing slip until they end. Your saying keep them on the leash, make sure they do something.

Otherwise, even with the law changed, the FCC will still drag things out and be lazy about it.

Maybe some people should read with their head and not their heart.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22638118 Wed, 01 Jul 2009 04:05:32 EDT Re: 1 year + 90 days is plenty of time to decide http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22637994 vinnie97 : Your anti TJ one-line quips are getting old and your asinine, unsupported conclusions also reek.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22637994 Wed, 01 Jul 2009 02:41:07 EDT Re: 1 year + 90 days is plenty of time to decide http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22637064 sonicmerlin : 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.

It also allows people within the FCC who favor certain companies agendas to simply stall and drag out the process to create an instant win for their side--- perhaps on an issue that would not ever have passed muster.

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.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22636047 Tue, 30 Jun 2009 17:42:54 EDT Re: 1 year + 90 days is plenty of time to decide http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22635961 anon : And the year before that.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22635961 Tue, 30 Jun 2009 17:31:39 EDT Re: 1 year + 90 days is plenty of time to decide http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22635901 OverModded :

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.

The FCC still hasn't fixed their "deemed granted" rule, which gives baby bells automatic approval if the agency can't agree on a decision within one year plus a 90 day extension.
This rule doesn't need fixing. That amount of time is plenty for a bureaucracy, even one as screwed up as the FCC, to make a decision. All government agencies need to have their feet held to the fire to make them be responsive and timely in their decisions.
Easy solution: any request not ruled upon within 1 year + a 90 extention is deemed denied.
There was an act introduced in Congress this year to address your concerns. But it doesn't reverse the deemed approved to deemed denied. It forces the FCC to rule one way or the other within the 1yr+90 timeframe.
Protecting Consumers Through Proper Forbearance Procedures Act, H.R. 400, 111th Cong. (2009)
(proposing to delete the deemed grant language in Section 10(c) and replace it with the requirement that the
Commission grant or deny a forbearance petition within the one year, plus 90-day extension, timeframe).
The bill has been sitting in Committee since Jan:
»thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z···r.00400:
Text of bill: »thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c111:H.R.400:

Of course, there is nothing in the bill laying out penalties on the FCC if they neither approve nor deny a petition. Maybe if they added that the FCC commissioners go to prison for 6 months if they refuse to act. That would make me happy.

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.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22635610 Tue, 30 Jun 2009 16:16:56 EDT 1 year + 90 days is plenty of time to decide http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22635556 OverModded :
