Some at FCC Apparently Have a Thin Skin

I don't recall the last time an FCC staffer attacked a policy paper from the FCC's own official blog site.

Perhaps oddly, the post castigates the Phoenix Center for living in a "theoretical" world rather than the "real" world of communications policy.

If you are familiar with the work done at the Phoenix Center, you might be puzzled by that remark. The Phoenix Center's work always is grounded firmly in economic analysis.

"Our friends at the Phoenix Center might be well advised to descend from theory-world to look at the actual, concrete actions taken by this Commission over the last few months," says FCC staffer Paul deSa.

I suspect that is precisely the problem the Phoenix Center analysis of Title II regulation was meant to address.
