Re: On the surface
said by Matt  :On the surface this sounds like a good, pro-consumer pick. Does anyone know where to find any more information about him? He is a lawyer & money guy and not really a technologist though he has been involved in the money & legal affairs of various technology companies.

»en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julius_Genachowski
Genachowski was Chief of Business Operations and a member of Barry Diller's Office of the Chairman at IAC/InterActiveCorp. He had previously served on the Boards of Directors of Expedia, Hotels.com and Ticketmaster.[1]
He is a co-founder of LaunchBox Digital and Rock Creek Ventures. [2] He is also a special advisor at General Atlantic and a member of the Boards of Directors at The Motley Fool, Website Pros, Mark Ecko Enterprises, and Beliefnet.[2]
Genachowski serves as a board member of Common Sense Media, a leading organization seeking to improve the media lives of children and families; and as an advisory board member of Environmental Entrepreneurs (E2). He also recently helped found the New Resource Bank, the country’s first commercial “green bank.” [1]
He is the father of three children and is married to Rachel Goslins, a documentary filmmaker. His parents are immigrants who survived the Holocaust. The views of a venture capitalist who loves him:

And the views of the Vallewag Gawker who sees some flaws:

From what I have read, he looks like he will be another captive of the Hollywood crowd and I would expect the main cause of high cable/sat/telco TV rates(content providers) will get a free ride at the FCC.
