Actually, this guy has some business experience instead of being a Beltway 
insider and a patronage hack like Martin.  What's more interesting is he 
has NOT been of the mold like many chairs before him in that he doesn't 
have a LOT of telcom experience, and therefore doesn't have any sacred cows 
in telcom land to protect.

I also like the fact he clerked for two Supreme Court justices.  Which 
gives him an enormous respect for what can happen if the FCC deviates from 
their codified mission under the Comm Acts (as well as others) and their 
own policies and ends up facing the Appellate Court (such as in White Spaces).

It will be refreshing to see if he directs common sense into the  White 
Spaces matter as well as Clarity Wireless (Trucker TV) proceeding.  Both of 
which are terrible spectrum sharing prospects for broadcast.
