- Congress to probe FCC with red hot questions
  Posted by Jeff from Ars Technica
  Congress investigates when corporations ask: "The cable operators are upset about the FCC's attempt to regulate their industry, along with the Commission's decision last year to nullify many of their exclusive contracts with apartment buildings. The telephone companies aren't thrilled about the FCC's 700MHz auction conditions (Verizon even sued), and everyone wants the FCC to keep away from their traffic monitoring and shaping practices."

- Bland Menu if Cable Goes à la Carte
  Posted by Jeff from New York Times
  This is an interesting article that argues that monopoly blended cable packages are good for consumers - and actually would keep the costs down. I disagree but it's a well written sparse argument.

- Google Has Even Bigger Plans for Mobile Phones
  Posted by Jeff from Wall Street Journal
  The company is gearing up to make a serious run at buying wireless spectrum, a chunk of the airwaves that can be used to provide mobile phone and Internet services, in a Federal Communications Commission auction in January. Google is prepared to bid on its own without any partners, say people familiar with the matter. It is working out a plan to finance its bid, which could run $4.6 billion or higher, that would rely on its own cash and possibly some borrowed money.

- Seattle crowd blasts FCC on big media
  Posted by Jeff from Seattle Times
  If the FCC quickly proposes new rules, "you know your input was dismissed," said Jonathan Adelstein, one the five-member commission's two Democrats. More than 200 people signed up to testify, almost all of them opposed to the proposed rules.

- FCC Media Consolidation Hearing in Seattle
  Posted by Jeff from crosscut.com
  The big, surprise, seven-hour public hearing about media ownership, announced suddenly just a week ago by the Federal Communications Commission, is this evening in Seattle at Town Hall. You didn't have any plans tonight, right? Actually, turnout is going to be huge, because ticked off activists have been mobilizing. Could be the best party in town.

- Don Imus: Shock Jock Fired For Shocking
  Posted by Orato
  This week, America has been assaulted by endless news coverage about the racist comments spoken by Don Imus about the Rutgers University Women's Basketball Team. Al Sharpton, Spike Lee and Whoopi Goldberg are just a few of the big names that networks have brought on air to discuss this in depth. Unfortunately, with this debate, there is only one side to take. Arguing context or Don Imus' work in the community or striving to see a larger picture is futile. The people are pissed.
