Kevin Martin is in hot water precisely because he WAS NOT in with the telco's. Think about what he's made the news for:

net neutrality
actually enforcing net neutrality (comcast investigation)
700Mhz open access rules
a la carte programming
cable card (and enforcing it)

The telco's and cable companies hate this guy. "former employees" is code for we bought someone to fabricate some stuff, tarnish his reputation, and hopefully force a resignation without any real evidence. It's easy to find "former employees" with an axe to grind, throw a littl money in the mix, and they'll turn into song birds.]]>Mar 13th 2008 9:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/13/fcc-chairman-to-get-fat-congressional-probe/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/13/fcc-chairman-to-get-fat-congressional-probe/Mar 13th 2008 2:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/13/fcc-chairman-to-get-fat-congressional-probe/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/13/fcc-chairman-to-get-fat-congressional-probe/Mar 13th 2008 2:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/13/fcc-chairman-to-get-fat-congressional-probe/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/13/fcc-chairman-to-get-fat-congressional-probe/Mar 13th 2008 3:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/13/fcc-chairman-to-get-fat-congressional-probe/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/13/fcc-chairman-to-get-fat-congressional-probe/Mar 13th 2008 10:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/13/fcc-chairman-to-get-fat-congressional-probe/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/13/fcc-chairman-to-get-fat-congressional-probe/Mar 13th 2008 10:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/13/fcc-chairman-to-get-fat-congressional-probe/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/13/fcc-chairman-to-get-fat-congressional-probe/Mar 13th 2008 11:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/13/fcc-chairman-to-get-fat-congressional-probe/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/13/fcc-chairman-to-get-fat-congressional-probe/Mar 13th 2008 12:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/13/fcc-chairman-to-get-fat-congressional-probe/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/13/fcc-chairman-to-get-fat-congressional-probe/
All sarcasm aside, good riddance to bad rubbish. Maybe now the freakin' FCC will finally take net neutrality seriously.]]>Mar 13th 2008 11:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/13/fcc-chairman-to-get-fat-congressional-probe/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/13/fcc-chairman-to-get-fat-congressional-probe/Mar 13th 2008 5:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/13/fcc-chairman-to-get-fat-congressional-probe/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/13/fcc-chairman-to-get-fat-congressional-probe/Mar 13th 2008 6:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/13/fcc-chairman-to-get-fat-congressional-probe/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/13/fcc-chairman-to-get-fat-congressional-probe/
One of the two Democrats on the FCC board had this to say about it; "'Today the Federal Communications Commission empowers America's new media elite with unacceptable levels of influence over the ideas and information upon which our society and our democracy depend,' said Commissioner Michael Copps."
