Re: are the days of Republicorp numbered? Um, Congress does not control the FCC or DOJ (really leads in your theory that the DOJ and FCC are harder to buy. But don't tell Sirius that the FCC and DOJ are difficult to buy. They did it for next to nothing and against a promise that they would never merge. |

| Well they "control" it in a way. The call FCC guys in for hearings and they have sway over FCC as they created the FCC. they also fund it. »en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Co···mmission
Funding is a lot of control. Ask the FAA »www.washingtonpost.com/local/con···ory.html
Ahh the good ol days...»en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_Syste···estiture
Interestingly ATT still recalls those days and knew going to court with DOJ was a bad thing as it could not buy the judges. It fares much better with congress and fcc

New York, NY | You seem to be backpedaling pretty hard here buddy. Perhaps you should go home and rethink your (failed) argument, m'kay?  |

I did and the SOPA bill was proof enough. |

| You did not give any "facts" in your post. Also my post you first commented on was not about SOPA. I said congress did not vote on ATT deal. You now bring up SOPA which is not part of this thread. I cant find all the vote totals (D vs R) out there (house and sen.) on SOPA but I am sure they were out there. "Biggest" supporters not verifiable unless you try to link cash taken from SOPA cos. thats heard to tally. So I go with total votes. This was cute since you bring up SOPA: »www.americablog.com/2012/01/stor···ney.html

What about the fact that UPS got the FCC to pull 2 MHZ of bandwidth from the amateur radio spectrum for a system that never happened? Go look that up.
How about the fact that multiple FCC commissioners go on to lobbying positions after they leave the agency? |
