If you attended the same law school as the Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, you’re in his good grace … and in a pole position for a prime role at the agency. Just ask Will Holloway.
He’s the new legal advisor to FCC Chairman Brendan Carr, shifting from a similar role for Commissioner Olivia Trusty.
Holloway initially joined the FCC as an honors attorney in the Wireless Bureau’s Competition and Infrastructure Policy Division. Importantly, he received his Juris Doctorate from the Catholic University of America, Columbus School of Law — where Carr received his J.D.
As a legal advisor for Commissioner Trusty, Holloway led legal and policy analysis on wireless, space, international, engineering and technology, and public safety issues. Prior to this role, he served as Counsel for the FCC’s Broadband Data Task Force and provided legal and policy support on matters related to the implementation of the Broadband DATA Act and the Commission’s Broadband Data Collection. Before that, he served in the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau as an Attorney Advisor focusing on broadband mapping and wireless infrastructure.
Carr commented, “Will has been doing excellent work across the FCC for many years now … and I look forward to drawing on his counsel on a range of matters.”
