What Aaron's trying to get accomplished here is precisely the type of work that lobbyists get paid for. And although he's right, the government can stonewall him indefinitely unless they have some kind of executive order to force a resolution. I'm sure that Paypal, VISA and friends have made campaign contributions or have had long conversations over games of golf to delay any competitive threat to their business model so he's got a steep hill to climb.
I'm assuming as a startup he can't afford to have a lobbying firm on retainer, so the best outcome would be that the Times or the Journal picks up this story and shames them into action.
But man, I admire the chutzpah and the brass balls it takes to pick this fight. Good luck!
