We are delighted that Pinnacle is able to present FCC Commissioner Kevin J. Martin and look forward to hearing his comments.” Commissioner Martin is a rising star at the FCC and is well known for delivering timely information that directly addresses current regulatory, technical and business matters before the FCC. Before joining the FCC, Martin was a Special Assistant to the President for Economic Policy. He served on the Bush-Cheney Transition Team and was Deputy General Counsel for the Bush campaign. He also served as an advisor to FCC Commissioner Harold Furchtgott-Roth. He has served in the Office of the Independent Counsel and worked as an associate at the Washington, DC law firm of Wiley, Rein & Fielding. Martin received a B.A. from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, a Masters in Public Policy from Duke University, and a J.D. from Harvard Law School. He is a member of the Florida Bar, District of Columbia Bar and the Federal Communications Bar Association. “PCIA has the long-standing reputation as the best government relations resource for the wireless infrastructure industry. Pinnacle understands that issues before the FCC are critical to the industry’s long-term profit-potential.
