Title: FCC potentially caught sucking Telco Cock
Post by: Tasty on January 26, 2019, 01:36:53 AM
FCC accused of colluding with Big Cable to game 5G legal challenge (https://www.theregister.co.uk/2019/01/25/fcc_accused_of_colluding/)

Quote
In the letter, Pallone strongly implies that the committee has heard from a whistleblower.

In effect, the letter alleges that FCC staff – almost certainly from Pai's office – put pressure on the big telcos to challenge an order that is designed to benefit them as a way of gaming the judicial system so the case didn't end up in a court likely to overturn it.

...

Whether the committee will turn up anything damning will likely be a question of luck: previous investigations into Pai's office have demonstrated significant awareness of how to avoid leaving a paper trail, including holding face-to-face meetings with the stated intention of the meeting different to the true reason, and official phones and emails used only to arrange meetings with the real content of discussions going unrecorded.

Just regulate them like a utility. Cap profit % and put requirements for quality of service.

It's probably the easiest industry to treat like a utility.
