FCC commissioner Mignon Clyburn raised concerns last week about the FCC’s failure to put a mechanism in place that would have given minority firms the chance to compete for assets divested by Verizon Wireless. She believes that right now the FCC is just giving lip service to minority entrants in the wireless space.

No. Really? I’m not saying that the FCC should be giving handouts but this FCC hardly knows anything about competition and appears to be shirking its role as a regulator which should primarily be to ensure competition on a level playing field. It may be time for Clyburn to start playing odd-man out and play both sides of the political fence to make some real inroads as opposed to merely touting the liberal pie-in-the-sky rhetoric.
