Did anyone really expect more?  Somehow it seems the name "Communications"
is taken too literally. 

Maybe we need a Federal BROADCAST Commission in addition to the FCC. I 
nominate Roy Stewart as Chairman. He's near enough to retirement from his 
staff job and actually knows a thing or two about broadcasting, or is that 
a reason he'd never get the job?

Oops! Scratch that. It can't happen, government is downsizing, or so they 
tell us.
