House Commerce Committee Chairman John Dingell (D-MI) stopped just short of agreeing with his predecessor that the FCC was picking on the cable industry. In a speech to approximately 300 executives in Washington for NCTA's Key Contacts Conference -- essentially a meet-and-greet opportunity with legislators -- Chairman Dingell said that while he could not say that the FCC picked on any industry, he could say that "sometimes their process is neither open, nor is it transparent, nor is it fair." "I can understand how you might feel that the FCC is picking on your industry," he said. He promised thorough oversight of the Commission, including phone calls, letters and hearings when necessary to insure that the cable industry -- and all industries -- are being treated fairly.
