NEW YORK President Barack Obama finally said today that he would nominate Julius Genachowski (shown at right) as chairman of the Federal Communications Commission.
The announcement comes nearly two months after reports identified Genachowski, a former Harvard Law School classmate of Obama’s, as the president’s pick.
Genachowski will replace Democrat Michael Copps, who has served as acting FCC chairman since Republican Kevin Martin exited in January.
No stranger to the FCC, Genachowski served as former chief counsel for former FCC chairman Reed Hundt and a legal aide to former chairman Bill Kennard when Kennard served as general counsel to the commission.
