Internet Pioneer to Be Named Top F.C.C. Technologist
By JOHN MARKOFF
The New York Times

The Federal Communications Commission plans to announce on Monday that it has
appointed a pioneering computer scientist and telecommunications expert as the
agency's chief technologist.

The appointee, David J. Farber, a University of Pennsylvania professor, drew
attention last year when he served as a Justice Department expert witness in
the Microsoft antitrust trial.

Mr. Farber, who is currently the Alfred Fitler Moore Professor of
Telecommunications Systems at the University of Pennsylvania, will keep his
teaching position there even after moving to Washington to work full-time for
the F.C.C. later this month.
