The Senate Commerce Committee Thursday held confirmation hearings on the nominations of some Coast Guard Admirals and Amtrak board members, but still no hearing for acting National Telecommunications & Information Administration head John Kneuer. It has been over two and a half months since the White House indicated he was the president's choice to head the NTIA, the administration's chief telecommunications policy adviser. Democrats balked at adding Kneuer's nomination to the agenda at the 11th hour. Kneuer could be confirmed as early as next week or, more likely, in September.
