摘要

Meredith Baker was sworn in as a member of the FCC by Chairman Julius Genachowski. She said she will rely on staff on loan from around the commission while she puts together a permanent staff over the next month or so. "I look forward to rolling up my sleeves and working on policies and programs that will help build a 21st Century communications infrastructure that can provide sustained economic growth, opportunity and prosperity for the nation, and for all telecommunications users," Baker said in a statement. Mignon Clyburn will be sworn in as the fifth FCC commissioner Monday in Columbia, S.C. Democrat Clyburn was a member of South Carolina's Public Service Commission. Baker, a Republican, was the NTIA's acting administrator in the George W. Bush administration.
