In January 2008, the Committee launched a bipartisan investigation after allegations of mismanagement from past FCC employees, representatives of the Telecommunications industry as well as from other FCC commissioners. The report was issued in lieu of hearings due to the fact that key witnesses were unwilling to testify or be identified by name.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Martin(FCC)#cite_note-cnet-7" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">[7]</a>The report concluded that Martin did not violate any law, and did not show clear evidence of wrongdoing, although it criticized Martin for leading the commission with a "heavy-handed, opaque, and non-collegial management style [that] has created distrust, suspicion and turmoil among the five current commissioners."<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Martin(FCC)#cite_note-washpost-8" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">[8]</a> It also stated that the Martin routinely violated travel rules by renting "premium class vehicles" and charging per diem work fees for days he was not working.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Martin(FCC)#cite_note-washpost-8" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">[8]</a>The report further stated that on becoming the FCC Chairman in 2005, Martin manipulated information given to other Commissioners and to Congress. A specific example given was that Martin ordered FCC staff to reverse a study finding which initially stated "a la carte" cable programming would not benefit consumers.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Martin(FCC)#cite_note-washpost-8" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">[8]</a> He also demoted the Media Bureau chief, who had been in charge of the study.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Martin(FCC)#cite_note-cnet-7" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">[7]</a>According to the report, some of Martin's actions had led to price jumps for consumers of Telecommunications services. It said that Martin mismanaged a fund for <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telecommunications_relay_service" title="Telecommunications relay service" style="background: none; text-decoration-line: none;">telecommunications relay services</a> which allow people with speech or hearing disabilities to communicate with hearing people. Accordingly, consumers were overcharged and providers were overcompensated more than $100 million a year.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Martin(FCC)#cite_note-washpost-8" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">[8]</a> The fund, which is paid for by companies who then relay the charges to their consumers had grown to more than $800 million. The largest TRS provider, Sorenson Communications, Inc., handled roughly 80% of these services, thus stood to gain the most from this lack of oversight.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Martin(FCC)#cite_note-cnet-7" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">[7]</a> A previous attempt by the FCC to audit Sorenson by a contractor was denied when Sorenson prevented access to staff and systems necessary to conduct the audit. A probe was later launched, and in May 2013 Sorenson settled the probe and was ordered to pay $15.75 million.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Martin(FCC)#cite_note-TRS-9" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">[9]</a> The settlement followed a similar settlement by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AT%26T" title="AT&T" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; text-decoration-line: none;">AT&T</a> that month where the company agreed to pay $18.25 million for similar overbilling.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Martin(FCC)#cite_note-TRS-9" style="background-image: none; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; text-decoration-line: none;">[9]</a><h2 style="background: none; font-weight: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0.25em; overflow: hidden; padding: 0px; border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(162, 169, 177); line-height: 1.3;">Legacy[</h2>On January 15, 2009, Martin announced his resignation as the new Administration takes over. In a statement, he said his philosophy during his tenure at the FCC "has been to pursue deregulation while paying close attention to its impact on consumers and the particulars of a given market, to balance deregulation with consumer protection." The statement notes what Martin accomplished during his tenure, including one promoting broadband, and specifically wireless broadband, and protecting consumers from harm, by issuing $150 million in fines, or more than any other chairman.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Martin(FCC)#cite_note-10" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">[10]</a><h2 style="background: none; font-weight: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0.25em; overflow: hidden; padding: 0px; border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(162, 169, 177); line-height: 1.3;">Subsequent career[<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kevin_Martin(FCC)&action=edit&section=5&editintro=Template:BLP_editintro" title="Edit section: Subsequent career" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">edit</a>]</h2>Beginning in September 2009, Martin began serving on the Board of Directors of the telecommunications hardware company, Xtera Communications.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Martin(FCC)#cite_note-11" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">[11]</a>In 2013, Martin was a signatory to an amicus curiae brief submitted to the Supreme Court in support of same-sex marriage during the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollingsworth_v.Perry" title="Hollingsworth v.
