[asterisk-users] CRTC and FCC Feeds

[Shidan]

I saw that already. It's not a listing of the FCCs headlines. It's
just a very lame, unusable, unordered list of a few snippets from
random FCC meetings. Check the data in my feed and compare it that and
I think the answer to "what about this" becomes obvious.

Cheers,

Shidan
