Dave Burstein of DSL Prime argues that when FCC chairman Michael Powell leaves his current gig, it would make sense for someone with industry experience to head up the agency. Hmm! Interesting idea, and even more interesting names he has proposed, though some of them make me want to laugh. Anyway it is all wishful thinking on our part. FCC chairman post is “political” post, and meant to keep the big bell or long distance donors happy. Becky Klein could be shoo in for the gig. Here is another piece on her making the cut.
