Jim,
Prior to the Wheeler Commission, we saw someone from the district field office
about once a year. These visits usually resulted in some behavior correction.
Previous Federal Communication Commissions may have been beating the horse, but
the Wheeler Commission put a bullet in its head. My recollection is that
Wheeler came out of the cable TV business.
I recall Wheeler boasting that all those people and field offices were not
needed and the FCC can keep a lid on things with a couple of Tiger Teams. It
appears that the tigers have been sleeping and are in sore need of dentures.

The "de-nutting" of the FCC began with "small government" in the early
'80s that drastically reduced its funding.
