WASHINGTON�Dr. Henning Schulzrinne has been appointed to the position of senior advisor for technology in the FCC�s Office of Strategic Planning and Policy Analysis by Chairman Tom Wheeler. He will take over the position of chief technologist at the end of this year, when Scott Jordan leaves the agency.
