seems the FCC cant keep from tripping over its self. If they keep this up, some of the bills in Congress will be passed and the FCC will be greatly reduced or gone all together. Not a moment too soon. The chairman seems to have lost all sense of reality. I guess that is a by-product of talking with Nextel too long!

Re; MCI/Sprint merger:

The deal drew immediate, surprisingly strong criticism from FCC Chairman William Kennard. "This merger appears to be a
surrender," he said. "How can this be good for consumers? The parties will bear a heavy burden to show how consumers
would be better off."

What's Kennard doing?

The response was unusual for the head of a regulatory body which hasn't yet seen a page of MCI WorldCom's merger
application. It leaves the FCC open to criticism of its merger policy, which strikes many as inconsistent and unclear.
