Good news is that the actual Obama FCC transition team of 3 includes a technologist,
Dale Hatfield, former Chief Technologist and Chief of Engineeering and Technology at the FCC.   And the two lawyers on the team are tech saavy.
 
Moreover the transition team has a substantive group of advisors providing input that includes several technologist [I am one and was the Chief Technologist at what I refer to as the Federal Confusion Commission before Dave Farber.  I recruited Dave to fill that position - not sure if Dave has forgiven me yet or not :>)   ]
 
I would welcome suggestions for how to improve the technical and economic proficiency of the FCC.   It is a critical need that the transition team has charged us to address.
 
Necessary caveat:  Advisors of course do not represent or speak for the transition team or the Obama adminstration.  Rather we provide input. 
 
I am encouraged at how willingly the transition team is seeking advice and really listenting.

I agree with Dave's comment below. Why is it that PK and other
"inside-the-Beltway" lobbying groups (such as MAP, Free Press,
and BroadbandCensus.com) seem to believe that they can develop
or recommend workable policy without including people who are
knowledgeable about the technology in their events?
