[SBE] Proposed Analog Shutoff Extention

[Chris Spacone]

I worked for Diller at USA Broadcasting as IT Director and while there
interacted with Julius many times. Julius struck me as competent and
reasonable was willing and able to listen to technical explanations. And
after all he was able to hang at USA/IAC/InterActive for a very long time.
Trust me just the longevity alone in close proximity to Mr. Diller is indeed
a 'red badge of courage'.  Diller is as uncompromising and demanding as his
reputation. He is also very loyal to those he perceives as having talent.
Clearly his assessment of Julius bears that out because of his longevity in
the organization.

In addition to this topic, what are people's thoughts on Julius Genachowski
being named as FCC chair?  He's a Harvard buddy of Obama's who was at the
FCC under Clinton and an executive at IAC/InterActive Corp. from 97 to 05.

Is not Congress liable to the same 'laws'? Ultimately, the people are
responsible for what Congress does. YOU voted them in there; if you
don't like what they are doing, vote them out! Broadcasters have access
to the widest known 'grassroots' cross-section of voters in the world.
I'd call that 'leveredge'!
