Wireless Association Taps NBC Lobbyist as New Leader

Baker, a former Republican FCC commissioner (and daughter-in-law of former Secretary of State James Baker), drew significant flak back in 2011 when she joined NBC* just a few months after voting in favor of Comcast’s acquisition of the network.

* NBCUniversal is an investor in Revere Digital, Re/Code’s parent company.
