SUBJECT:
The outlook for the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) under new chairman, Kevin Martin.
SIGNIFICANCE:
Martin, and former chairman, Michael Powell, engaged in some very public disagreements over the past two years. However, those differences masked broad consensus on the direction, if not the pace, of change in the sector. The key challenge for Martin will be to prove more effective than Powell in making incremental, pragmatic progress in a deregulation mandate.
