A reputation for being more of a deal maker and an executive than a pure technology expert, a criticism already circulating on Silicon Valley Web sites.
Early in the presidential campaign, Mr. Genachowski urged Mr. Obama to capitalize on the organizing power of the Internet. He was a prolific fund-raiser So what we may get as the next FCC chair is a political payback for funneling millions of dollars to the winning candidate.

Genachowski came to the Commission in 1994 as Special Counsel to General Counsel William E. Kennard. He became Counsel to Chairman Hundt in March 1995 and Chief Counsel to the Chairman in December 1996.

| Sounds like he will be anti-telco/pro-CLEC/socialism/nationalizing/forfeiture, and will probably be bribed up by cable cos with a face of "supporting competition". I'm not sure if the Telecom Act 1996/what made CLECs, was Clinton's making, or Congress's making. |

It wasn't a bad idea. It was just not supported.
