The Washington Post's "In the Loop Column" reports that Bob Pepper, an institution at the FCC, one of the nation's leading telecom policy experts and an overall good guy, is heading to the private sector to join Cisco. There's probably no one out there who has more institutional knowledge and memory of the FCC than Dr. Pepper. More on the Post story here.

Top FCC Adviser Goes Private
Robert Pepper , a top adviser to the last six chairmen of the Federal Communications Commission over 19 years and an institution in the world of telecommunications, is heading to the private sector.
Pepper, most recently FCC chief of policy development, is joining Cisco Systems on July 1 as senior managing director, global advanced technology policy. A highly regarded expert in the telecommunications field, Pepper has been a key player in a number of telecommunications arenas, including the fallout from the break-up of AT&T and the implementation of the Telecommunications Act of 1996.
When Pepper joined the FCC, it is said, they were still using rotary phones.

Hi Brett,I'm with you amigo. Right here in my home town, we just opened a new shcool. NICE place it is. New Macbooks and iMacs everywhere for teachers and staff, new HP wired routers and switches, new computer lab with iMacs the works then there's the wireless network. oy. Now don't miss the fact that I love Ben (network admin) great guy but he oversees the whole shooting match practically by himself. Is he a Wi-Fi expert, uh, no. Can we expect him to be? that depends on his time and passion to learn it I guess. The HP guy says something like, hey, we sell Wi-Fi gear too, and all you have to do is ' put a few of these APs up here and there and then plug in this controller and voila instant wireless.' Everything is on auto channel and power selection of course. Now, that wouldn't be so bad if he didn't have Apple carts roaming around the place with Apple Airports on them. Every time one of those fire up anywhere in the building, it makes the entire corporate (HP) wireless network go bananas changing channels and power settings. Brilliant. He now has a network in a state of business-hour flux, and no real way to measure statistics (throughput, etc) so as to optimize the network.This is yet ANOTHER example of a lack of education causing such a problem. I know there has to be a thousand such horror stories out there. I'd love to hear other people's stories right here on the blog.
