    A citation would be helpful here. I am not disputing your claim. But in general, it is easy to disparage someone as a moron when they make decisions you disagree with.

I think if you look over the last decade or two of the FCC board, you will find people were chosen for their political connections and willingness to support industry status quo. The new chairman seems a refreshing departure from this trend.
