In this week's program: Phone companies are looking for new ways to generate more money, and they're inventing strange new fees to make it happen. FCC Commissioners both past and present lament the state of corporate print and broadcast media, and they worry about how the FCC may try to rewrite the rules governing their ownership. And has the hot-button issue of indecency gotten a cold shower at the FCC?
