"Siri" Helps Genachowski Get Laughs at Telecom Prom

Helped with an offstage version of Apple's iPhone voice assistant Siri, Federal Communications Commission Chairman Julius Genachowski made fun of his handling of the AT&T-T-Mobile merger, the final end of the Fairness Doctrine and the Universal Services Fund. Chairman Genachowski knew he was expected to draw laughs at the "telecom prom", the annual Federal Communications Bar Association dinner, but he got in some serious moments with a farewell to FCC Commissioner Michael Copps, who finishes his tenure at the agency this month, and a tribute to Apple founder Steve Jobs who died this year.
