Only days before he is scheduled to exit, Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez has named a host of industry players to new, two-year terms on the Commerce Spectrum Advisory Committee.
Members include former Republican FCC commissioner Harold Furchtgott-Roth, former National Telecommunications & Information Administration head Janice Obuchowsky (more recently a partner in Frontline Wireless), Robert Pepper, former FCC policy adviser to Republican Chairman Michael Powell, and Association For Maximum Service Television president David Donovan.
The members, says Gutierrez, "are spectrum policy experts, appointed as 'Special Government Employees' from the private sector and balanced in terms of their points of view." They will consult with the head of the National Telecommunications & Information Administration, which is the arm of Commerce that advises the president on spectrum policy.
