Abstract

Everyone knows that those who fail to learn the lessons of history are destined to repeat them, Presidential campaigns notwithstanding. Almost nobody admits they are in the midst of making such a mistake until it is too late. Although it is arguable that no government can ever truly learn from history, any fairminded, sensitive, insightful and modest bureaucrat such as myself must at least pay lip service to this axiom.

The views expressed in this paper are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Federal Communications Commission or any of its members.
