Thanks for the info Stephanie. To the above poster, if you don't have something good to say than don't say anything at all.

Regardless, here are my two cents.
"Jim Kohlenberger, who served as senior domestic policy adviser to Vice President Al Gore and helped pass the Telecommunications Act of 1996"

This is a person who passed this 'act' which sold the airwaves to corporate America at a VERY VERY low price which essentially provided no economic support as well as consolidated major advertising and communications companies from around 50 companies to the 80s to 6 companies owning 95% of airwaves nation wide. Thank Clinton and this man for having Kiss FM blasting YOUR top 10 hits all the time in EVERY city.

Susan Crawford - I don't know much about her but I found this quote from her on the web:
"Wikipedia is a reliable first stop for getting information about a huge variety of things, and it shouldn?t be manipulated as a public relations arm of major companies."

I support attitude like this but NOT if it means regulation of the Internet! The internet needs NO GOVERNMENT INVOLVEMENT!

I know nothing of the others and can't find detailed information on the backgrounds of the other individuals. Regardless they seem to be quite informed individuals but it is important that has is smart in his decision. Obama is as fallable as you or me or the next guy. Mistakes like the Telecom. Act of '96 were BIG MISTAKES that we CAN'T go back from.

Let just hope he brings all the right kinds of change and goes down in history as a tremendous president rather than the man that shows how easily America can controlled, or manipulated, or wrecked.

Let's hope any changes at FCC result in having the Media Bureau begin to take more interest doing the job of fairly adminstering 'leased access' law and that those placed in the top positons see to it that leased access programmers are permitted use of cable's broadband to deliver content.
Presently the Media Bureau acts in a manner that reflects contempt for Congress and with total disregard of the goals of their own Commissioners. Its a disgrace.
