As most of you know, I have completed my one year term as Chief Technologist at the FCC. It was one of the most interesting years I have spent during my career. I received a lot and hopefully gave a lot. I started to understand how policy is made and how the economic and technical realities are meshed with the political realities of Washington. How the public interests are meshed with the strong forces of industry. Since the Chief Technologist must work closely with the Commissioners and in particular the Chairman of the FCC, it seemed appropriate to wait till now to seek a replacement (I will be helping the FCC till that time). So, looking for a person with a strong technical background in modern communications including the Internet who would like to spend a year (or so) in Washington. Academics are particularly welcome since there is a IPA path which can be used. A strong interest in interacting with economist, lawyers and policy people is really needed. The exposure is considerable since you would often be called upon to give speeches at key places. I would be happy to discuss this with anyone who is interested prior to contacting the FCC if you would like. Please pass this one to colleagues etc. Dave _____________________________________________________ David Farber The Alfred Fitler Moore Professor of Telecommunication Systems University of Pennsylvania 200 S. 33rd St Philadelphia, PA 19104-6389 Home Page: http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~farber Email: dave () farber net and POB 424 250 Good Hope Road (for fedex) Landenberg, PA 19350-0424 Tel: 1 610 274 8292 hm Tel: 1 610 898 9508 UPenn Cell: 1 610 304 9127 personal Cell: 1 202 841 4533 FCC Fax: 1 800 339 7069 For archives see: http://www.interesting-people.org/
