INDIANA UNIVERSITY KELLEY SCHOOL OF BUSINESS Professor Dr. JEFFREY PRINCE is joining the FCC as Chief Economist starting SEPTEMBER 3rd, as Dr. BABETTE BOLIEK ends her term and returns to PEPPERDINE UNIVERSITY.
“Dr. PRINCE’s wealth of experience and research on the telecommunications market and Internet adoption will be of great value to the Office of Economics and Analytics and the entire Commission,” said Chairman AJIT PAI. “I’m pleased that Dr. PRINCE has agreed to join the agency and look forward to his input on the economic aspects of important policy issues such as closing the digital divide and auction design and execution.”
“We are grateful to have Dr. PRINCE join our team,” said Acting Chief of the Office of Economics and Analytics GIULIA MCHENRY. “He brings a deep understanding of many of the issues our office deals with on a daily basis, and his knowledge and insight will be important additions to our work.”
On BOLIEK's departure, PAI added, “Dr. BOLIEK’s keen understanding of the intersection of law and economics proved to be an incredible asset as the Commission was creating the Office of Economics and Analytics. Many of the items we worked on and processes we established over the past year were greatly strengthened by her input. I very much appreciate her efforts and wish her well as she returns to PEPPERDINE.”
