Re: More techs and less lawyers

start steering the FCC from an agency of partisan loyalists and lawyers to one that makes decisions based on, well, technology.
So they put a guy in charge that has a Doctorate in Law from Harvard Law School? Sounds like the lawyers are still going to be running things to me.

The rest of the new FCC:
Robert McDowell - lawyer & currently on FCC
Mignon Clyburn - degree in banking & daughter of powerful Dem House politician
Michael Copps - PhD in History & legislative aide & FCC member
1 unknown Republican yet to be named - ???

Doesn't look like any engineering talent in the policy making positions at the FCC. Looks more like the lawyers & pols that have always run things.

Here is his Bio'. Seems to be just another political hack.
But at least he did work in the field.

Well it's kind of necessary to have someone who understands the intricacies of the law system in charge of the FCC. At the same time what you hope is that he surrounds himself with technology savvy experts and listens to them for advice in setting policy.
