Hello Alice, how is it in Wonderland?  

A casual reading of Part 15 makes it clear that commerce does, 
indeed, control the FCC, and has for several decades. That's 
how we got things like mass market ownership of broadcasting, 
control of print and broadcast media in the same market, BPL, 
and so on. That's why broadcasters no longer need to employ 
full time engineers to assure the proper operation of their 
transmitters. That's why the FCC has no budget for 
enforcement.
