By CBR Staff Writer

US Republican Kathleen Abernathy has announced she would leave the Federal Communications Commission later this year, which would result in a Democrat majority at the regulatory board.
AdvertisementAbernathy, who spent four and a half years at the FCC, was a proponent of a market-based rather than regulatory-based industry and supported minimal regulation of VoIP.

Abernathy said she plans to retire from the five-member commission on December 9.

President Bush?s administration has not yet named her successor, even though the White house has known about her upcoming departure for months.

Typically, the FCC has a 3-2 majority in favor of the party currently occupying the White House."

Code may be taking a back seat for now,
but the pioneering spirit that put the code
there in the first place is out front of it all.
