FCC Chairman Kevin Martin is doing public service commercials, and some of them are being aired on DISH Networks. He is letting folks know about the digital television transition. I can’t remember any FCC chairman making a play for the airwaves like Martin is — something tells me this man has bigger political ambitions.

You are right. This man has taken a lot of decisions which have been avoided for many last years. One of them is the deregulation of Cable industry. Now, no company can own more than 30% of the total cable market. It sounds more like the favor of AT&T and Verizon who have tough time selling IPTV to end customers.

So technically, is this an Ad? If yes then is it okay for him to advertise for a key players in the market?
