FreePress.net | Big News: Julius Genachowski Is History

Dear President Barack Obama:

We need an FCC chair who will:

Protect Net Neutrality. The next FCC chair will face the fallout from a major court decision on the FCC’s Open Internet rules. Whatever the ruling, the FCC chair must make protecting Internet users the top priority.
Promote Broadband Competition. We need more choices for high-speed Internet service. The chair shouldn’t let AT&T and its pals kill off competition and the few consumer protections we have left.
Free Our Phones. The next chair should stand up for our right to use our own devices anywhere and any way we choose.
Create Real Media Diversity. The FCC chair must promote policies that make our media more diverse, local and accountable.
Expose the Dirty Money. The new chair should require the funders of political attack ads to put their names in the actual ads.

Big News: Julius Genachowski Is History

The FCC chairman is stepping down — and we need to seize the moment to push for a chair who won’t cater to corporate interests.

We had high hopes when Genachowski took over as chairman, but his tenure has been a string of disappointments:

He failed to make broadband more affordable and accessible.
He passed toothless Net Neutrality rules.
He signed off on the destructive Comcast-NBC merger.
He pushed the Bush administration’s failed media ownership policies in spite of overwhelming public opposition.

We can’t afford another FCC chair who cares more about AT&T, Comcast, Verizon and Rupert Murdoch than about you.
