Kevin J. Martin
Chairman, Federal Communications Commission

Kevin J. Martin is chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, where he has served as a commissioner since 2001 and as chairman since 2005. During his term he has conducted a balancing act between the interests of the technology and telecommunications industries. He mostly sided with Google in the effort to impose new openness rules on a large chunk of spectrum the FCC recently auctioned, and has been publicly critical of the cable TV companies. He could be an important player in the battle over Net neutrality.
