I care what the FCC wants.

Your income is tied to what the FCC wants.

My income is totally independent of what the FCC wants. The agency
could be abolished tomorrow and my income will not change one bit
(unless "tomorrow" is the day that the COL increase on my pension
annuity and Social Security kicks in, as it will tomorrow). The FCC
has no connection with that, nor with the private investments that
also provide for my retirement income.

The NPRM and R/O of 98 sure didn't impress. How many of those folks
retired on a fat salary?

If you think that retiring on 50% of a salary that is 50% (or more)
less than what one could get in the private sector is "fat", I have
a (Weeatstone) bridge that I can sell you "real cheaply".

Do not forget that a Federal retirement annuity (prension) is not a
"gift" from the taxpayers. It is an annuity that is bought by the
employee with after-tax money and such purchase is not optional.

As an employer you know that scenario very well.

Hans is an employer? Of what sort?

Ask him.
