It's great news for consumers, for our country, and for those of us who are honored to serve with him here at the FCC. Beginning first as a state official, and now at the Commission, I have seen firsthand his commitment to competition and technology- neutral policies that will spur economic growth, always balanced with his deep sense of public service. Congratulations to Chairman Martin, and I look forward to working with him during this exciting digital era. - FCC - 1
