It is extremely disheartening to see one of our many bureaucrats come to an anoymous international forum for input on an American domestic policy issue. A domestic policy issue that should be exclusively taken care of by the elected legislature rather than an unelected bureaucracy.

I hope that all of the comments in this thread are fully discarded by all who hold actual power at the FCC; the opinions of the international community are not relevant.

That's silly. If you see good advice you take it. Doesn't matter where it came from.

That is, unless you're too clueless to tell the difference between good and bad advice. Then you find someone to trust.

Individuals should certainly follow that advice. Unelected bureaucrats shaping domestic industry with their extra-legislative regulatory power should not.

The FCC exists solely to serve American interests - nobody else's. There is an enormous problem with unelected government officials flagrantly ignoring either the constitution or the will of the people - often both - in the United States. Coming to an anonymous international forum for advice on exercising regulatory power which arguably shouldn't exist in the first place is a spit in the face to every person that this bureaucrat is meant to serve.
