Besides going after Midland Radio, they are also getting all settled in with a bunch of new people over at the FCC. So besides being all grumpy and giving out fines, the new Federal Communications Commission Chair Julius Genachowski wants to make the FCC more open and efficient. The folks over on ars technica have a good write-up on all of the new people at the FCC.
The new FCC administration now wants to be open, and "smart about technology"? A lot of people feel that it is one agency we should just get rid of. They can be more focused on fines and petty agendas than doing honest regulatory work. One could argue that the FCC has been more of an impediment to implementing new technology than a help. Perhaps they will get rid of GMRS licenses, or even streamline the process for a business radio license. This should be interesting.
