Resignation of FCC Chairman, Michael Powell
Michael Powell has demonstrated, during his tenure at the FCC, that he understands the needs of communications innovators and entrepreneurs. He has tried to create a regulatory environment that will simultaneously promote innovations and competition for new communications applications and services and allow for broadband deployment and network upgrades to support new technology and services. We hope that his successor will share his wisdom and vision to further enable America to lead the way in revolutionizing the way people communicate. It was Chairman Powell who eloquently enunciated the need to empower consumers through the promotion of "net freedoms", which would allow consumers to control their own communications experience. We trust his successor will build further on the concepts of consumer empowerment and net neutrality to ensure that every consumer has access to a broadband pipe and the freedom to maximize the functionality and value of the Internet and advanced communications.
