Republican Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa has agreed to lift the hold he's had on President's Obama's two FCC nominees, Republican Ajit Pai and Democrat Jessica Rosenworcel. Grassley refused to advance the nominees until he received documents regarding the FCC handling of the wireless buildout of the company LightSquare. Apparently Grassley is receiving the documents now. Since November the commission has been conducting business with only three commissioners, Chairman Julius Genachowski, Mignon Clyburn and Robert McDowell. The soonest the Senate could vote on the nominees would be May 7th.
