FCC Chief Julius Genachowski to Keynote 2010 NAB Show
WASHINGTON:
Two days after the FCC released details of its
National Broadband Plan, NAB announced that FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski
would deliver a keynote address to the NAB Show on Tuesday, April 13 at 9
a.m.
The speech marks Genachowski’s first appearance at the NAB Show as chairman of
the commission and is expected to draw a huge crowd as the industry debates the
proposal to take back broadcast spectrum outlined in the plan promoted by the
chairman.
“We are delighted that Chairman Genachowski will be joining us at this year's
NAB Show," said NAB President and CEO Gordon Smith. “As the world's
largest showcase of technologies from across the communications ecosystem,
we're pleased to present Chairman Genachowski with a high-profile platform to
share his views on communications policy and the future of free and local
broadcasting.”
As previously announced, the NAB Show will also include “The Washington
Face-Off,” an session examining telecommunications policy issues led by FCC
Commissioners Michael Copps, Mignon Clyburn and Meredith Attwell Baker. --
