FCC Chair To Join Aspen Institute Think Tank

Julius Genachowski

When Julius Genachowski finishes his four years as Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, he will follow a 16-year tradition followed by his four immediate predecessors: moving to the Aspen Institute Communications and Society Program as a Senior Fellow.

Executive Director Charlie Firestone announced the news Monday.”We are delighted, of course, to welcome him to the Aspen family.”

“Genachowski’s chairmanship focused on expanding broadband access, increasing spectrum for wireless mobile and other uses, and rationalizing regulations. It was an important time in communications regulation, and his experience will help us immensely in finding the right issues at the cutting edge to address in our various roundtables.”
