"I practically fell off my chair laughing when I read this." -Bert "The CEA had a legitimate argument." -Craig I believe that the CEA had a legitimate proposal in the interest of the consumers, the manufacturers, and the FCC's quest. I think it is unreasonable that the FCC would take a reasonable proposition that obviously had two parts and only accept the one. This is not good politics and drives a bigger wedge between all the parties. These kinds of major transitions could go so much smoother if folks could be a little more reasonable.
