The Media Bureau v. The National Broadband Plan

[Commentary] The Federal Communications Commission's Media Bureau seems set on undermining two of the National 
Broadband Plan's biggest initiatives — reallocation (or re-examination, if you prefer) of broadcast spectrum and reform 
of the set top box rule. Which is why it would make sense for some of the responsible folks in the Chairman's office to 
exercise some adult supervision here. The Chairman has the responsibility to balance among the competing goals of the 
agency when the various delegated processes start to interfere with each other. A wise Chairman consults the other 
Commissioners as well, of course, but management of the Bureaus is squarely in the Chairman's list of responsibilities.
