DLH] Genachowski to head FCC By Brian Santo CedMagazine.com - January 09, 2009 <http://www.cedmagazine.com/Genachowski-head-FCC.aspx>The next Chairman of the FCC is going to be Julius Genachowski, according to sources familiar with the choice.
That Genachowski was a leading candidate for the position was first reported several weeks ago by The Washington Post (story here).
Genachowski, currently a venture capitalist, served as chief counsel to former FCC Chairman Reed Hundt. He also attended law school at Harvard with Barack Obama and led the development of the president- elect’s technology and innovation agenda.
Obama has said little about his agenda for the communications industry. He has taken positions common with most recent politicians: He wants to promote universal broadband Internet access to all Americans and is an advocate of net neutrality, though what is meant by net neutrality remains undefined.RSS Feed: <http://www.warpspeed.com/wordpress >
