Chairman Martin at Globalcomm ...

Yesterday, FCC Chairman Martin spoke at Globalcomm, and he offered a pretty clear summary of where he wants to go (or not go) in the short term. Here are a few quick take aways

-- Adelphia, Comcast, Time Warner ... don't expect any merger conditions
-- Net neutrality ... don't expect anything in addition to the FCC actions in the SBC/AT&T and Verizon/MCI mergers ... BellSouth could be brought into the mix as part of the SBC transactions
-- Video franchising relief for the Bells will continue to pick up steam
