- Fred Stiening said Yesterday morning, I had a chat with somebody at the FCC at their help desk. He was trying very hard to be helpful, and he actually knew more than I expected. The media bureau is its own division. It has a hundred years worth of legacy it has to deal...
- Fred Stiening said This problem has not fixed itself. I sent an email this morning to a person who probably can get the message to the right person. Interestingly, when I call the fcc’s toll free number of this morning, it could not complete the call as all the...

The October 23rd “deadline” for solving Europe’s problem came and went. Instead of the 30%, then 50%, then 60% writeoff being demanded against the banks holding Greek debt, a 100% loss is looking more and more likely. The Dollar vs … Continue reading
