Michael Powell stepping down as head of FCC: "Federal Communications Commission Chairman Michael K. Powell, who opposed tight regulation of telecommunications but backed unprecedented fines against broadcast indecency, announced Friday he is resigning.
Powell, who has held the job for four years, said in a statement that he informed President Bush that he would depart in March.
Powell, the son of Secretary of State Colin Powell, who also is leaving the Bush administration, said he had completed a 'bold and aggressive agenda' and looked forward to spending more time with his wife and two sons. "
NOTE: Interesting that Chairman Powell didn't make this announcement during his CES interview with Gary Shapiro, President and CEO the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA), two weeks ago.
