SPOTLIGHT: FCC Chairman makes light of telecom regulations


FCC Chairman Kevin Martin made a comedic appearance at the FCC Bar Association event this past week, cracking jokes about the FCC, his policy decisions and criticism that he's too friendly with telcos. One joke was that FCC's answering machine message says: "Hi, you've reached the FCC. If this is AT&T, please press 1 for our merger approval hotline. If you're calling from a Vonage phone, please hang up and dial from a Verizon phone. If this is the cable industry and you're calling about a waiver, your call is very important to us [extended pause] goodbye." Article
