Tom Wheeler, President Obama's selection to lead the Federal Communications Commission, will today face questions by the Senate Commerce Committee panel. Wheeler will be grilled about his past, about his knowledge of the telecommunications space, and about his position on net neutrality. Wheeler has already led the National Cable Television Association and the CTIA. The senate will want a clear indication from Wheeler that moving forward he will act in the peoples' best interests, and not those of the industries he used to represent. If confirmed by the senate, Wheeler will succeed Julius Genachowski, who left the FCC in May. Commissioner Mignon Clyburn is acting as FCC chairperson until the new chair is approved.
