Julius Genachowski, Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission since 2009, is expected to announce that he will be stepping down “in the coming weeks,” the New York Times reported Friday:
No successor has been named. Mr. Genachowski’s departure, on the heels of the resignation earlier this week of Robert M. McDowell, a Republican commissioner since 2006, will leave the agency with only three of five board spots filled, although Democrats will retain a 2-to-1 majority.
