IP: Time is approaching to leave the FCC

[Dave Farber <farber () cis upenn edu>]

Soon  I will leave the FCC to go back to UPenn. I signed up on 17 Jan 2000 
for a one year hitch at the FCC.

GG and I have loved Washington and will miss it a lot. I have found the FCC 
to be a marvelious educational experience and the people at the FCC to be 
dedicated and neat. Dealing with the senior staff and the Commissioners and 
their staff , especially Bill Kennard, Kathy Brown and Mike Powell , was 
wonderful . I came to get educated and to educate and feel I have archived 
both goals. I think I made a difference.

When I left for DC I thought that I owed a debt to my country and field and 
that I had to, in a small way, repay that debt. I made a down payment this 
past year. I expect to pay off more of that debt back at UPenn by helping 
to better educate some of the future leaders of our nation based on the 
broad perspective I have gotten in DC.

I will be, after I leave, be writing a sequence of email to IP detailing 
what I have learned, what I would change. I hope it is read and understood.

Again, thanks for a wonderful year to you IPers and those at the FCC who 
have made it such a wonderful experience.

Dave
