He's expected to leave the FCC next week. ³I've loved it, every single day of it. Thanks to the most remarkable public staff I've ever worked with. It will be the greatest memory of my life,² Chairman Powell said, holding back tears as FCC employees stood to give him a round of applause. Commissioner Kevin Martin, who many expect will be the next FCC chairman, released this statement: "It has been an honor and privilege to work with Chairman Powell. He is a dedicated public servant who has worked tirelessly to improve the state of our communications industry, particularly as an advocate of new technologies. He should be commended for his many accomplishments, which span across every sector under our jurisdiction. He has eloquently articulated his vision for the communications industry and the FCC's regulation of it. Over the last four years, he has helped lay the regulatory groundwork so that services in each sector can thrive in the face of the challenges and opportunities the 21st century will present. He should be very proud, in particular, for the steps he has taken to foster new services and technologies; this certainly will be one of his most important legacies. We all will miss his enthusiasm and his warm and engaging manner, and I personally wish him the very best in his future endeavors."
