Michael Copps’ decade of service as a member of the Federal Communications Commission will forever be remembered as a time when average Americans had a real voice in the regulation of one of the country’s most powerful industries. Through it all, whether he was looking at new media or old media, Commissioner Copps consistently raised his own voice and dedicated his good offices to the proposition that the people come first and that technological advancements in communication should, above all else, advance opportunities for everyone to be heard in the public square.
