My Old Boss and Current Boss

Here is a video from the CSPAN series the Communicators. Their guest last Friday was FCC Commissioner and my former boss, Jonathan Adelstein.

This program does a great job of taking the current Media and Telecom issues and framing them in a way that makes them accessible to the general public. We are at a "Crucial Point" in our country's technological and media development and I believe everyone should play a part or at least keep informed of the important issues. Regulation in this period is inevitable and if we the public do not involve ourselves in the legislative and rule making process, we will wake up and realize that all the proposed regulations benefit the large media conglomerates who have invested millions in lobbying efforts to boost their profit margins.

Aside from this rant...another important issues that has come up recently is the idea of reinstating the Fairness Doctrine. I plan on posting my thoughts on the Fairness Doctrine in the near future, but in the meantime here is my current boss, Jerry Fritz, in an earlier version of the Communicators discussing a number of issues including the Fairness Doctrine.
