Or so says Paul Kapustka with his list of “Top Ten Net Neutrality Influencers”, on which I do not rank even an honorable mention.
Tip of the hat, however, to friend-of-the-blog and occasional sparring partner Richard Bennett included in the honorable mention slot.
On the plus side, no one will care if I take Wednesday and Friday off.
Stay tuned . . . .
Good news for consumers! @JRosenworcelFCC announced she's circulating the cable/satellite "anti-junk fee" item for a vote this meeting. Hopefully we can get 5-0 on honest billing!

When we speak of successful U.S. industrial policy, my first answer is the 1956 AT&T antitrust consent decree, which spurred American general computing (eg, IBM) AND more or less created a US semiconductor industry. My second pushing the IBM unbundling of software.
The @FCC took action to help survivors of domestic abuse separate from shared phone plans. As @NicholasPGarcia explains, "One of the horrors of abuse is isolation... these rules help ensure that our comms services work to protect & empower survivors." đź“°:
Today we take a necessary step forward in protecting our nation’s survivors. By creating connections through Lifeline and providing an opportunity to reach out for help without being tracked, we are extending critical assistance during a time when help is most needed.
All items adopted unanimously. So what's behind the curtain Johnny?
I told Paul that my inclusion on his list undermines its credibility. I think you know you hold more sway on this issue than I ever will, and you’re on the winning side to boot.
Let us resolve it by joining each other’s fan clubs.
I hear Kevin Martin is the president of yours. Maybe he’ll comment.
Don’t feel so bad. Paul posted it on Muniwireless and he did not mention me at all.
When I get the call to appear on “Dancing with the Stars,” I’ll put in a good word for you, Esme.
Hey, just like any good policy maker I can be swayed by contributions… for the next rev!
The list is so appended… Howard is now honorably mentioned as well. I apologize for the omission!
Howard!
Oh, the ignominy!
