I'm going to this panel tomorrow at 2pm, with Commissioner Copps of the FCC. He's one of the most powerful decision-makers in media policy, who can actually address the structural problems. In a Democratic administration, he'll be even more important.
I'm increasingly impressed by our ability as activists to work with internal allies in corporate America, Congress,, labor, think tanks, and within regulatory agencies. I expect a lot of this kind of networking at Yearlykos to take place.
Anyway, if you're coming to Yearlykos tomorrow, come to this panel. If you're not but have questions, leave them in the comments and I'll put them to Copps.
