STATEMENT OF COMMISSIONER MEREDITH ATWELL BAKER ON
SELECTION OF MICHAEL POWELL AS HEAD OF NCTA 
I congratulate Michael Powell on his new position.  As the cable industry and 
communications industries are going through a digital and IP transition, it is critical to have 
forward-thinking and visionary leaders.  With Michael, we are all lucky to have someone of his 
caliber back in the policymaking world on a day-to-day basis.  Congratulations also to NCTA on 
doing the near impossible, finding a worthy successor to Kyle McSlarrow.  I look forward to 
working with Michael and Kyle in their new capacities.
