Jonathan S. Adelstein was unanimously confirmed twice by the U.S. Senate to be a member of the Federal Communications Commission. He was originally sworn in on December 3, 2002, and sworn in for a second term on December 6, 2004.
A life-long public servant, Adelstein has dedicated his career to fighting for the public interest. As a Commissioner, his approach is guided by the key principle that the public interest means securing access to communications for everyone, especially those the market may leave behind.
Adelstein is a strong advocate to improve rural telecommunications and broadband. To ensure that all consumers have access to the latest telecommunications services no matter where they live, he has strived to improve universal service. He has advocated for a substantive national broadband strategy with aggressive goals and specific policy recommendations. He also actively promoted new Commission policies that improve access to spectrum by both large and small companies so consumers can continue to maintain those connections in this increasingly mobile world. He was a key staff architect of expanding the Rural Utilities Service's authority to finance broadband services in the 2002 Farm Bill.
Adelstein has fought for media diversity and localism, encouraging increased public access to the airwaves to support a well-informed citizenry - an essential part of our democratic society. He has promoted access to telecommunications and media outlets by minorities, rural and low-income consumers, people with disabilities, and non-English speakers. He has encouraged broadcasters to use the digital transition to serve their communities with local, public affairs, and other cultural and educational programming.
Adelstein has been a national leader on combating the negative effects of excessive commercialization in American media. He spearheaded vigorous enforcement against reported violations of federal payola rules - a payola scandal that may have been the most widespread and flagrant violation of any FCC rules in the history of American broadcasting. The investigation resulted in an historic settlement with major radio companies that established strong procedures to prevent future recurrences of pay-for-play practices. Adelstein is nationally recognized for efforts to promote family-friendly media and fostering digital literacy among parents and children.
Before joining the Commission, Adelstein served for fifteen years as a staff member in the United States Senate. For his final seven years, he was a senior legislative aide to then Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle (D-SD), where he advised Senator Daschle on telecommunications, financial services, housing, transportation and other key issues. Previously, he served as Professional Staff Member to Senate Special Committee on Aging Chairman David Pryor (D-AR), including an assignment as a special liaison to Senator Harry Reid (D-NV), and as a Legislative Assistant to Senator Donald W. Riegle, Jr. (D-MI).
Prior to his service in the Senate, Adelstein was a Teaching Fellow in the Department of History, Harvard University, while studying at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government. Adelstein also was a Teaching Assistant in the Department of History, Stanford University. He also received an M.A. in History and a B.A. with Distinction in Political Science from Stanford. He also served as a Communications Consultant to the Stanford Graduate School of Business.
Adelstein was born and raised in Rapid City, South Dakota. He currently lives with his wife Karen and two children, Adam and Lexi, in the Washington, D.C. area.

Since April 2002, he has been Director, Business Relations in the Enterprise & Business Group at BERR, responsible for BERR's business-facing activities and policy in communications & broadcasting networks, Internet, software and computer services, information security, electronics, digital content, media, publishing, postal, construction and retail sectors.
He was previously Chief Executive of the Radiocommunications Agency, which managed UK radio spectrum prior to the establishment of the converged communications regulator Ofcom. His earlier career included appointments in the Ministry of Defence, the Home Office, Cabinet Office and the Department of Trade & Industry. He was Chairman of the Board of the European Telecommunications Standards Institute from 1996 to 1999. He is a Council member of the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council.
An electronics engineer by profession, he has also held many voluntary appointments in national charities working with disabled people. He is married with a son and two daughters.
