President Obama has named many of his Cabinet members, but has not yet gotten around to announcing his pick for chairman of the Federal Communications Commission.
That choice is widely-expected to be former IAC/InterActiveCorp executive Julius Genachowski, but with no official announcement from the Obama camp and former chairman Kevin Martin out the door as of last Tuesday, Democratic Commissioner Michael Copps has been named interim chairman.
“I am honored to be designated today as acting chairman of the FCC,” Copps said in a statement. “I thank President Obama for his confidence in me and for this opportunity to serve. I know that I have a truly gifted and terrific team to work with. I pledge every effort I am capable of to help steer the Commission through its current transition to new leadership.”
