In a column in Tuesdays Pittsburgh Tribune-Review columnist Dimitri
Vassilaros wrote some nice words about the FCC:

There is at least one government agency that deserves recognition for its
very unbureaucrat-like work during Hurricane Katrina. Hint: It's not the
Federal
Emergency Management Agency. Admittedly, that's not much of a hint. Not a
hint
at all, actually, given FEMA's absolutely abysmal performance before, during
and after the Category 3 hurricane that almost made New Orleans the Cajun
Atlantis.
So of course, FEMA now is trying to get that agency, the Federal
Communications Commission, under its control during emergencies.
