My friend Gigi Sohn is headed to the FCC. Chairman Tom Wheeler today announced Gigi will serve as the Special Counsel for External Affairs at the FCC. In my opinion, he could not have made a better choice. Gigi has served since 2001 as the President and CEO of Public Knowledge and, from 2011-2013 as the Co-Chair of the board of directors of the Broadband Internet Technical Advisory Group (BITAG). She has served on the board of the Telecommunications Policy Research Conference (TPRC) and on the Advisory Board of the Center for Copyright Information. In 1997, President Clinton appointed Gigi to serve as a member of his Advisory Committee on the Public Interest Obligations of Digital Television Broadcasters. Gigi is a tireless consumer advocate and should serve us well at the FCC. Good luck and keep up the great work Gigi!
