FCC COMMISSIONER JONATHAN S. ADELSTEIN
ANNOUNCES STAFF CHANGE
Washington, DC – FCC Commissioner Jonathan S. Adelstein announced today that Scott 
Bergmann will be assuming the position and responsibilities of Senior Legal Advisor.  Barry 
Ohlson, the Commissioner’s current Senior Legal Advisor, has decided to begin considering 
other opportunities outside the Commission.
“I'm very pleased that Scott has agreed to serve as Senior Legal Advisor,” said Commissioner 
Adelstein.  “He has worked with me for almost my full tenure at the Commission, and his sound 
advice and counsel have been integral to my decision-making.”
Bergmann first started working with Commissioner Adelstein in May 2003.  After serving as 
Deputy Chief of the Competition Policy Division, Bergmann was named Wireline Legal Advisor 
in January 2004.  In addition to his Senior Legal Advisor duties, Bergmann will continue to 
advise the Commissioner on wireline, broadband, and disability rights issues.  Bergmann has 
previously served as Legal Counsel to the Chief of the Wireline Competition Bureau, advising 
the Bureau Chief on competition policy and broadband issues.  Prior to joining the Bureau's front 
office, Bergmann was an Attorney-Advisor in the Industry Analysis Division.  He has been with 
the Commission since 1996.  Bergmann received his J.D. from the University of Southern 
California Law Center and his B.A. from Duke University.
