President Obama will appoint FTC Commissioner Jon Leibowitz to be the agency's next chairman early this week, an administration official confirmed today. Leibowitz, a Democratic member of the panel since 2004, will succeed Republican William Kovacic, who led the agency charged with consumer protection and preventing unfair business practices for less than a year.
Leibowitz formerly worked for the Motion Picture Association of America and was once Democratic counsel for the Senate Judiciary Antitrust Subcommittee. Leibowitz has been a supporter of calls to stop brand pharmaceutical companies from paying off generic drugmakers to delay the availability of their low-cost versions and is frequently quoted on high-tech topics. Earlier this month, he told the Internet advertising industry it should improve its self-regulatory efforts in consumer privacy to avoid government intervention.

It is good to hear that Jon Leibowitz was appointed as a FTC (Federal Trade Commission) Commissioner. He said that he will improve the current atmosphere of FTC and he will also try to avoid the interference of government in this matter. Hope he will do his best and improve the situation. Thanks for this informative news.
