| The FCC is still a captured Agency The panels yesterday were interesting, if only because the big companies sent their 4th-stringers, who are more likely to be honest.
And there was one consumer panelist yesterday, Dr. Mark Cooper from CFA, though he was added at the very last minute after several consumer groups sent letters to the FCC complaining of the one-sided nature of these panels. Kind of funny that Kevin Martin, who certainly was no friend to consumers, never held any events that were completely one-sided.
Just because the leadership of the FCC changed, that doesn't mean all the other captured people working there are any more inclined to listen to consumers. |

Any agency is a captured agency. An entire school of economics called public choice theory explains the reasons behind this state of affairs. Fact is that the more power government has, the more power entrenched corporate interests have. |
