FCC "Sloth"? Nothing new to me.  Remember I was a lawyer for the Renewal and Transfer Division of the Broadcast Bureau in the mid 60s.  My first file as a 25-year-old lawyer involved a matter filed the year I was born.  It was a "no brainer" but didn't get resolved by the Commission until a year after I left them two years later. (the owners with mob ties was given six months or so to sell the 50kw AMer.
