FCC's Genachowski sets a different course

Federal Communications Commission Chairman Julius Genachowski said, "I am making it clear to everyone I talk to that the country expects the FCC to be an expert agency that's focused on facts, focused on data, and that takes a hard and honest approach." Genachowski's approach is to make the agency more accessible. The FCC in August is holding two dozen open-to-the-public workshops on broadband - high-speed Internet - policy. Genachowski called them "unparalleled in the FCC history" for openness. "We're experimenting with mechanisms to make the FCC as participatory as possible," said Chairman Genachowski.
