Oh Goody

Michael Powell has a blog:

One reason I am participating in AlwaysOn Network's blog is to hear from the tech community directly and to try to get beyond the traditional inside the Beltway Washington world where lobbyists filter the techies. I am looking forward to an open, transparent and meritocracy-based communication—attributes that bloggers are famous for! Regulated interests have about an 80 year head start on the entrepreneurial tech community when it comes to informing regulators what they want and need, but if anyone can make up for that, Silicon Valley can. This is important not just for Silicon Valley—it's essential to insure that America has the best, most innovate communications infrastructure.

You have to register with AlwaysOn to even see Mikey's blog, let alone leave a comment, and the process was an absolute PITA. Makes me wonder if that's precisely why Powell chose this provider: to make it difficult to interact with him.

Well, let's all welcome the FCC Chairman to the blogosphere. Now we can yell directly at him in public about media consolidation...
