Two bills to reform the Federal Communications Commission's decades-old procedures for regulating the $3 trillion communications business have been introduced into the House and Senate by former broadcaster Rep. Greg Walden, R-Ore., and Sen. Dean Heller, R-Nev.

With a stack of four 4-inch notebooks to prove his point, Walden complained, among other things, of the FCC’s habit of dumping documents at the last minute: “The FCC waited until the 11th hour on Universal Service Fund Reform, dumping 16 binders with as little as two days for the public to review."
