What's the point of appointing a former telco lobbyist?

If they can't vote on part of the FCC's agenda.

Not sure how he will be for consumers, but he was a lobbyist for CLECs, which at least says he has been against the ILECs some (most?) of the time.

These think tank and telecom lawyers think and fight for what they're paid to think and fight for. I think his personal political beliefs mirror our resident deregulatory zealots....and Martin's.

Recusals won't last long. In a year he will be voting on all FCC issues.

That in itself is a red flag. Not that many of the FCCs policies do not raise a red flag today.

Can't accuse Karl the news guy of pretending to be objective and unbiased.

The report says the Justice Department hasn't ruled on the merger as yet. So, why was the FCC voting in the first place with clearence from the DOJ?

Yes, it's a big secret I'm pro-consumer and a humanist who writes for a pro-consumer website that focuses on the user perspective. The bias police win another victory!

Which part of what I said isn't accurate?

He's never pretended to be. The people who run this site have their point of view and do not apologise for it. As long as they are open about it then no problem.
