“So I needed to buy a DVD player on New Years Eve 2000 (going onto 2001) because I wanted to watch a couple of movies and happened to go to Circuit City (the 14th Street Union Square store).

FCC Chairman at Circuit City -- I don't

FCC Chairman at Circuit City -- I don't
believe it 05/14/2004 03:26 PM
A USA Today article reports that FCC Chairman Michael Powell recently went to Circuit City to switch his phone number to a new carrier:

FCC Chairman Michael Powell said he switched carriers for his work wireless phone as well as for his wife and son at a Circuit City outlet and the moves were done in an hour.

"I was shocked at how well it worked," Powell said. He declined to identify the carriers but said his name was not on the accounts so he did not receive favorable treatment.

What kind of stunt is this? Doesn't Powell have an army of factotums to do this kind of thing for him? And how was he able to change a phone account that didn't have his name on it? Furthermore, didn't the Circuit City people ask to see an ID to see if his name matched the name on the phone account? How did he pay for the account -- using a credit card with a fake name on it?
