Hmm. I know that some federal agencies have regulations which make it difficult to take advantage of your position to benefit from the industry you regulate without a multi-year waiting period. Does the FCC not have such regulations?
Federal Communications commissioner Meredith Baker announced yesterday that she will resign her post in June to join Comcast/NBC as a senior vice president. Baker, a Republican, was appointed to the FCC by President George W. Bush in 2009, and made her announcement only four months after voting to approve a merger between Comcast and NBC Universal.
Yeah, that doesn’t sound like a conflict of interest at all. Sheesh.
