FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski

“He is not afraid of taking tough questions, as long as no one is expecting intelligible (or intelligent) answers.”

...the Federal Communications Bar Association’s (FCBA) annual Chairman’s Dinner, held Thursday night at the Washington Hilton. A roomful of lawyers and lobbyists and lawyer/lobbyists spent more time in the aisles than their chairs, pressing the flesh with FCC staffers, congressfolk and each other.

WTF? There's an association JUST for FCC LAWYERS? And, no doubt, they paid for the lavish dinner.

A roomful of lawyers and lobbyists and lawyer/lobbyists

Great. A bunch of unsavory charactors pushing their agenda. Where is the common man in all this? Where are the broadcasters?

More telling, No mention of the spectrum grab. None.

There are associations for many groups. I got a scholarship this academic year from the Association of Federal Communications Consulting Engineers (AFCCE).
