Federal Communications Commission Chairman Kevin Martin suggested that media-ownership rules are among the areas in which the agency may be able to take action once it has a full complement of commissioners. "When we get a fifth commissioner, obviously he could end up being a tiebreaker vote and we would be able to move forward on it," Martin told reporters in Washington as he completed his first year as head of the FCC. "I do think we need to end up addressing it."
