NTIA Wants To Recover Role As Prime Mover On Nation's Internet Policies

National Telecommunications and Information Administration head Larry Strickling on Tuesday said the NTIA is re-asserting itself as the prime voice for the Obama administration's Internet policies. Former MIT Professor Daniel J. Weitzner is heading the NTIA policy shop charged with wide portfolio of issues. When asked how he thought Federal Communications Commission Chairman Julius Genachowski might react to his statement, Strickling said: "I think he supports it. The NTIA speaks for the Obama administration. The FCC does not."
