Thanks.
I had a very odd conversation with Markey's office last year. It went
like this.
Curtiss: Why just one consumer advocate?
I read the 1934 Act and there should be 50 state reps.
Colin: Uum. That's not how the FCC has done it. They usually
pick 6.
Curtiss: But I don't understand. The Act says quite clearly
that a member from each affected state must be
appointed.
Colin: Don't know. That's how it's done.
Curtiss: If they do chose 50, isn't the one advocate out-numbered?
Shouldn't the Act say something like 1/3rd of the board
shall be composed of advocates?
Colin: We were lucky to get one appointed!
[conversation ends]
