New FCC Chair Brings Us Closer to Net Neutrality ☀
Julius Genachowski, a strong proponent of Net Neutrality, was confirmed late Thursday to be the influential chairman of the Federal Communications Commission.
Genachowski is well regarded in the technology community, both as the former chief counsel to Reed Hundt, an FCC chairman under President Bill Clinton, and as a private-sector entrepreneur and venture capitalist.
He’s also a former law school classmate of Barack Obama and principal architect of the president’s technology and innovation plan, which features Net Neutrality as its centerpiece.
