Title: GOA report says FCC too cozy with lobbyists. Post by: k4kyv on October 04, 2007, 10:55:07 AM The Government Accountability Office says the agency tips off some people with business before the commission in advance about what items are coming up for a vote, usually before the public is notified.
"Situations where some, but not all, stakeholders know what FCC is considering for an upcoming vote undermine the fairness and transparency of the process and constitute a violation of FCC's rules," the GAO said. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=14980818&ft=1&f=1006 http://www.broadcastingcable.com/article/CA6486465.html http://techdirt.com/articles/20071003/191504.shtml Title: Re: GOA report says FCC too cozy with lobbyists.
