I hold out hope that Kevin Martin will speak at Fall 2006 VON -- they say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one ...

I was pleased to hear that President Bush addressed the NAACP yesterday after five years of rejections.

To be candid, I was primarily happy because, if President Bush can put aside some early differences of opinion and approach, take the high road and address the NAACP, perhaps Chairman Martin and the FCC Commissioners might join the Internet communications industry at Fall 2006 VON. I know we all, both industry and policymakers alike, only want the best possible future to emerge as quickly, as efficiently, as effectively, as broadly, and as profoundly as possible.

Given the critical juncture in which we in the Internet communications industry find ourselves, we would love the opportunity to share ideas with the FCC's leaders as they craft the rules that will shape the future of the Internet and communications in America.

I actually had a great experience at the FCC last week, and while Chairman Martin had to miss our meeting because of the unavoidable delay in the FCC's Open Meeting to vote on the Adelphia merger, his staff was most gracious and most supportive and gave us great guidance as we tried to help improve America's post-disaster communications capability.

Every FCC Chairman has spoken to the industry at VON since VON's beginning ten years ago. I think each Chairman found value in mixing and mingling and cross-pollinating ideas with the leaders of the emerging industry. Now that the industry is more involved in policy and the regulated space than ever before in our brief history, it is more essential than ever that we open the lines of communication with America's chief regulator.

Do not think you had a choice in getting involved in the regulatory issue facing the industry?

Powell told you this was coming. Powell also disfranchised the FCC during his term and hopefully Martin can learn from that misguidance.

Hopefully more of us in the industries can find more time to lobby those within the FCC. That is one of the things Martin told us in a meeting back in the fall of 2004, that the competitive providers, e.g. ISP's, would participate in the regulatory proceedings and not just stand on the sidelines hoping someone else would do it.

With the former AT&T and MCI CLEC's gone under, those were the two greatest voices we had. Now gone, the RBOC's are free to reign and gather greater control and dominate market share of Telecom and Broadband services.
