I really like the FCC, and I don't like government agencies very often. I've interfaced with them when reporting illegal telemarketing and when getting an amateur radio license. They've always struck me as very accessible, responsive, efficient, and transparent. Although most of their job is regulation, it always seems like they approach the task with a sincere goal of actually serving the citizenry and making communication work well and fairly. General kudos to them.

Are you talking about some FCC in another country that isn't the United States? Try applying for a LPFM or LPTV license. My experience with them is exactly opposite of what you report.
