The technologist who has Michael Powell's ear

The Federal Communications Commission is, for better or worse, at the
heart of some of the most important technology disputes of our era.
How strictly the FCC decides to regulate emerging technology promises
to have a lasting impact on areas as disparate as voice over Internet
Protocol (VoIP), fiber to the home, instant messaging and even digital
video recorders.
Robert Pepper is the FCC's chief of policy development, which requires

also co-chairman of the FCC's Internet Policy Working Group.
Previously, Pepper directed the Annenberg Washington Program in
Communications Policy Studies.
