Some letters sent to Santa somehow found their way to RCR’s Denver office. I took a peak before sending them on to the big bearded guy up north …
Dear Santa,
I have been a good boy all year. I started an auction that has raised lots of money (billions) to help the government.
I also worked my staff really hard to make up 700 pages of rules really fast for the new telecom bill. Some people are saying I overstepped my bounds, but I know you don’t believe them, Santa.
For Christmas, please send me another auction (big). If you can’t find one, please send me a bigger job with my friends, Bill and Al.
Your pal,
Reed Hundt
Dearest Santa,
First of all, I want to tell you that when I called Michelle at the FCC, I wasn’t trying to be naughty. I just wanted to chat a little. I used to work in government so I know what the rules are and I didn’t break them. I’m sorry if you thought I did.
I have put out extra cookies and milk for you and Rudolf. For Christmas (or at least for New Year’s), I would like the PCS licenses I was promised. That is the only thing on my list.
I hate to be pushy Santa, but if I don’t get them, I am going to be asking for a lot of money (green) in my stocking next year.
Sincerely,
Janice Obuchowski
Dear Santa,
Thank you for giving me the nice wireless interconnection agreement last year. I received it in February and it made me very happy.
But some mean Bell companies stole it from me and have given it to three judges. I think they are going to break it. I would appreciate it if you could find me a similar one this year.
Thank you,
Tom (Thomas) Wheeler
Dear Santa,
Thanks for the new job in the neat PCS industry. It’s great. For the holiday season, I would like a PCS network.
Frankly, I was told that I would already have one and it’s getting kind of embarrassing because all the other kids on the block already get to play with theirs’). If you could rush at least one network to me, I would be very grateful.
Thanks,
Andrew Sukawaty
Dear Santa,
Please send money … and rats.
