> The FCC's job is not to get every last penny for every last Hz, it's to be a good steward of the commons.

That’s the spin.

Yes, the FCC is the steward. But it’s also a bureaucratic, underfunded, somewhat backwards agency.

SIGINT is pretty cool, and FCC has some cool things and people that interact with them, I’m sure. But the outward face of FCC and how they appear to operate seems to have hardly changed in past years. I respect that typically, but it’s like an old bowling alley kind of respect; it’s fun, but it’s old and dirty, and the nachos aren’t bad but they aren’t good. The Lysol sprayed in those shoes is for psychological comfort. You don’t need to know the real reason.
