President-elect Barack Obama plans to nominate a key technology advisor to be the next chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, according to a person who has worked with the transition team on technology issues.
Julius Genachowski held several positions at the FCC during the Clinton administration. He also was an executive at IAC/InterActive Corp. from 1997 to 2005. And he served as a law clerk at the Supreme Court from 1992 to 1994. He and Obama were friends at Harvard Law School.
The Obama team would not confirm earlier reports of the planned appointment.
The person knowledgeable about the plans to nominate Genachowski spoke on condition of anonymity because the decision has not been formally announced.
