Industry representatives, consumer and public-interest advocates, and former colleagues are praising President-elect Obama's decision to nominate Julius Genachowski as the next FCC Chairman, noting his experience in dealing with communications policy issues as well as his broad business background. Analysts said he would likely push an agenda that focuses on an open Internet and broadband deployment and benefits new entrants and wireless carriers. Mr. Genachowski would be the "first FCC nominee ever who has been a tech executive, a venture capitalist, and an entrepreneur, and he has the additional merit that he was never a practicing Washington lawyer [for a law firm], unlike his previous four predecessors," former FCC Chairman Reed E. Hundt told TR. "It's a very different kind of choice than any ever made before." Mr. Genachowski was chief counsel to Mr. Hundt, who is involved on the Obama transition team, when he was Chairman.
