Michael Powell Resigns

Learned today that Michael Powell has resigned.  Om Malik links to CNN and says,

…that means VoIP has lost one of its closest allies in Washington DC,
and has fought for the rights of the upstarts harder than anyone on the

Beltway. This could cast a pall of gloom over the VoIP industry, and I
suspect, the little guys will have tough time finding such a supporter.
Obviously, this is good news for the Bells and other incumbents.

Jeff Jarvis links to the WSJ which is subscription only.  (Why do people link to them?)  He also links to MSNBC.

Both CNN and MSNBC mention Janet Jackson’s breast.  What great reporting.  What a great legacy.  The Powell family is better off out of this administration.  Imagine, having to enforce fines related to tasteless entertainment.  Imagine having to go to war because the nasty little guy at the helm lacks the imagination to lead a nation at peace.

    One of the biggest corporate media-consolidation kissasses resigns after having done untold damage to the diversity of media, and all some people can whine about is their VoIP? Unbelievable?
