Julius Genachowski to head the FCC. Apparently this is a good thing, although I don't know much about him. From the article:
Genachowski was a Harvard classmate of Obama's and previously worked for Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer. He's currently a co-founder of LaunchBox Digital and Rock Creek Ventures, and held executive posts including general counsel at IAC/InterActiveCorp, which owns a list of Web properties including Ask.com, Match.com, Gifts.com, Reference.com, Evite, Citysearch, and Excite.
IAC is a member of a coalition that supports more Net neutrality regulations and which also includes Amazon, eBay, and Google.
That last part sounds good.
