Michael Powell: Chairman Michael Powell
built 644 days ago
This morning, word got out that FCC Chairman Michael Powell would be resigning from the commission as early as today. It is curious, as Glenn Fleishman states, why this is happening a day after President Bush was inaugurated for a second term. Fleishman makes some great points about how he may differ in opinion on how some media regulations have been handled, but at the same time believes Powell did some good things for technology.

In February of 2004, then FCC Chairman Michael Powell gave a speech in which he outlined four 'Net freedoms.

Michael Powell will step down next month as chairman of the FCC, ending a four-year stint during which he grabbed more attention for censuring Howard Stern and Janet Jackson than for his attitudes toward telecom policy. But it's Powell's hands-off approach to regulating cable-modem, voice over IP, wireless and other services that should be remembered.

The new chairman of the FCC, Colin Powell's son Michael, has just made life even easier for Clear Channel and the other big groups. On March 12 he okayed 32 mergers and kindred transactions in 26 markets.
