The FCC is Still Wanting an Open Relationship

This post covered some of this already, but there is a bit more information in this article in the Wall Street Journal. Over at the FCC they are still pushing to overhaul their processes and also make everything more open to the public. They are also probably going to do some restructuring along with making what they do more accessible. According to the WSJ news story:

Genachowski repeatedly says he wants the FCC under his watch to be more "data-driven," "fact-based," and "transparent" than ever before.

I think anyone that has been involved in getting a business radio license would love to see the process improved. Also, for the hobbyist, having more direct dialogue with the FCC about common concerns (GMRS pricing) may lead to a more common sense approach in fees. This may even help the radio manufacturers avoid certain, er, events.

Many have stated that the FCC is backwards, bloated, and perhaps absolutely meaningless now. I am not sure if Genachowski is trying to justify the agencies existence, or is genuinely interested in making it into a lean, effective regulatory agency. At the minimum I hope we at least get a more communicative organization that is easier to work with.
