Prior to his appointment, he was a <br />prominent cable industry lobbyist." <br />"Michael Powell, a former FCC Chairman under President George W. Bush, became the head <br />of the NCTA after leaving the FCC." <br />"Meredith Attwell Baker, a former FCC Commissioner, joined Comcast as a senior executive <br />just four months after voting to approve the Comcast-NBC Universal merger." <br />"John Morabito, a former FCC official, worked as a senior lobbyist for Comcast before <br />returning to the FCC as a senior advisor." <br /> <br />
