I have been at the Federal Communications Commission as Chief Technologist
for about a month including several snow storms and a trip or so.
I am focusing my long term contribution on understanding and articulating
the impact of internet technology and practices on those aspects of the
communications industry that the FCC currently regulates.
Please note I am NOT doing this for any ulterior motives but rather
to help the staff and Commissioners understand the issues and to help
them "do no harm"
I welcome your inputs and invite you to email them to me and/or stop by at
the FCC and talk. I hope to get to some of the meetings , like the IETF,
I would prefer not to discuss areas of active regulatory action since the
ethics rules that cover such conversations may require their disclosure, or
prohibit those discussions outright.
Please please take advantage of the opportunity offered by "one of us"
being at the FCC.
