What kind of FCC will this be?

On Thursday, the new Federal Communications Commission held its first meeting with a full complement of five commissioners. So, what kind of FCC will this be? Officials from public interest groups, representatives from carriers and technology companies and former FCC officials said that while it's too early to tell how the FCC might rule on specific issues, it's clear that this will be a much different agency than the Bush-era FCC. The consensus: Today's commission likely will be much more analytical and data-driven than it has been, it likely will be a bottom-up, staff-driven agency, and FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski likely will take a measured, patient look at pressing issues.
