President Barack Obama made it official today, nominating Julius Genachowski to be chairman of the Federal Communications Commission.
“I can think of no one better than Julius Genachowski to serve as chairman of the Federal Communications Commission,” the president said in a statement. “He will bring to the job diverse and unparalleled experience in communications and technology, with two decades of accomplishment in the private sector and public service.
“I know him as the son of immigrants who carries a deep appreciation for this country and the American dream; and as the proud father of three children working with his wife Rachel to be responsible parents in this digital age,” President Obama said.
The long expected nomination was announced as part of a package of nominations that included John Berry, director of the office of personnel management.
