Genachowski to head FCC

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
