My favorite part is the bit where the respondents will have to specifically justify each bit they want kept confidential. To wit: Accordingly, “blanket” requests for confidentiality of a large set of documents are unacceptable.

We may actually get some visibility into the embarrassingly capricious and opaque App Store policies.

I wouldn't hold my breath. This just adds a lot of busywork for Apple's lawyers. I'm sure they'll justify in detail every piece they want to keep private, and the FCC isn't interesting in pissing people off by blowing their secrets.

What possible reason could they have to keep things secret that should have been public in the first place ?

My guess is that this list of questions is just for openers. The answers will lead to follow up questions.

If Apple's lawyers can can justify that legally unlocking phones will lead to more drug deals and collapse of cell towers, they will be able to justify this.
