The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has posted[1] an opening for an
attorney-advisor in the Mobility Division of its Wireless Telecommunications
Bureau in Washington, DC.

As a principal attorney with mid-to-senior level responsibilities, the
individual's job duties would include working on policy, rulemaking, and legal
issues; drafting Commission- and Bureau-level rulemaking and adjudication
decisions, and reviewing proposed legislation, rulemakings, orders, and changes
to regulations.

According to the FCC website, the Mobility Division is "responsible for
developing policy and rules that facilitate rapid, widespread deployment of
wireless communications services. Along with the Broadband Division, it
oversees nearly 2 million licenses used to provide an array of wireless
services. The Mobility Division helps carry out the [Broadband Personal
Communications Service], to private land mobile used for dispatch and remote
monitoring of equipment, to maritime and aviation, to personal use such as ham
radio."

ARRL CEO David Minster, NA2AA, has suggested that the position listing[2] be
shared by ARRL members who know an attorney interested in communications law
and who has an amateur license. "This non-supervisory position is at the top of
the government pay scale. I would urge any amateur who is an attorney and has
several years of experience to apply - especially if they are interested in
wireless," Minster said. The deadline to apply for this opening is January 28,
2022.
