Bob Okun, who's headed up NBC Universal's government relations team for the past 16 years, is leaving his job. He won't be leaving town, though. Like many others who've haunted the halls of Congress, he's forming his own lobbist firm, which he's dubbed The "O" Team. It will open its doors July 1, with Comcast and NBCU as its first clients.

Okun's departure comes just three months after Comcast closed on its deal to control NBC Universal.
