SEN SUNUNU QUESTIONS MARTIN'S RECORD
[SOURCE: Multichannel News, AUTHOR: Ted Hearn]
Sen. John Sununu (R-NH) Tuesday questioned some policy calls of Federal Communications Commission Chairman Kevin Martin at a Senate Commerce Committee hearing on whether Martin should receive another five years at the agency. Sen Sununu, a brash and vocal advocate of communications deregulation, indicated that Martin had been too willing to insert the FCC into places that should be left to the market. “Without a doubt, [Martin] has pursued policies to restrict marketing of Internet services ,” Sen Sununu said. “He’s pushed to establish must-carry regulations for multicasting. He’s advocated price controls on cable television.”
