Sen. Charles Grassley (R-Iowa) may still block a vote on new Federal Communications Commission commissioners stemming from his disaffection with the FCC's response to him, or lack of it, on its LightSquared waiver. "The hold is still a possibility," said a Grassley spokesperson. "Nothing has been resolved." The Senate Commerce Committee is holding a hearing on the nominees -- Jessica Rosenworcel and Ajit Pai -- on Nov. 30, but the hold would not become relevant until the nominations were voted out of the committee and sent to the floor for a vote.
