said by nasadude:these meetings are closed because they don't want the public to know what they are doing (or planning to do).
Why the meetings are closed:
least bad interpretation - the FCC just wants to hear what the incumbents really want (which they presumably would not admit in a public meeting; I leave it to you to guess why they won't say in a public meeting)
most likely interpretation - the incumbents are telling the FCC what it is they will accept and give the FCC their marching orders.
The most likely interpretation runs more to paranoid than anything else.
