		Powell was born in Bekesbourne, Kent, and educated at The King's School, Canterbury and then at Dulwich College.
		Although proponents would argue that Powell ought to rank alongside Hitchcock and Lean as one of the greatest British film directors, his career suffered a severe reversal after the release of the confronting psychological thriller film "Peeping Tom" in 1960 as a solo effort.

		Powell is young to be the head of a federal agency—he is thirty-nine—and genially charming.
		Powell is a bulky man who wears gold-rimmed glasses and walks with a pronounced limp, the result of injuries he suffered in a jeep accident in Germany, in 1987, when he was an Army officer.

		Powell's follow-up comment, though, where he said it was unclear what regulatory obligations, such as serving the public interest, should apply to IP TV should be cause for concern.

		Michael Powell may need every last bit of that power and those connections, because his fast trip to the top has suddenly landed him in the hot seat.

	Michael Powell & Emeric Pressburger
		Thus, the ‘difficulty’ of placing or situating Powell and Pressburger’s films is largely the result of their mixed and hybrid nature and the problems one encounters in trying to place them, even loosely, within one of these two basic traditions, and British cinema as a whole.
		Powell and Pressburger are now routinely championed as amongst the most significant and visionary filmmakers to have worked in British cinema.
		It is therefore not surprising that Powell is often discussed as an anachronistic aesthete in mid-twentieth century British cinema; a director who throws together the perceived floridness of nineteenth century melodrama, the values of Victorianism, the self-consciously faked pictorial dimensions of Victorian-era, family-based studio photography and the technical flourishes of a magic show.

	OJR article: FCC Chairman Michael Powell Sees Bright Future for Online Media
		Last month, Powell traveled to Aspen to speak at the annual conference of the Progress and Freedom Foundation, a Washington D.C. think tank that "studies the digital revolution and its implications for public policy" and advocates keeping government regulation to a minimum.
		Powell used the occasion to warn those looking to the federal government for solutions to beware the law of unintended consequences.
		Powell's belief that consumers have enough diverse forms of access to news and information to warrant loosening the media ownership rules stems in no small measure from his own use of technology and media.

		Powell's concern at the time was that the rules he was tweaking were in imminent danger of being thrown out altogether by the courts, and he would not extend the deadline for making a decision about them when fellow commissioners asked him to, or hold more than one public hearing.
		Powell's Achilles' heel, some observers have suggested, may be that disconnect between his passion for technology and law and an understanding of the people affected by his decisions.
		Powell seems to imply in passing, for example, that American consumers would think to turn to the FCC's website to learn more about the dawn of digital television and what that means for their old TV sets.

		Powell went against the mobile phone industry in pushing for number portability, which allowed consumers to keep their phone number if they switched providers.

	Michael Powell Biography
		A celebration of the British countryside and its heritage, A Canterbury Tale (1944) was savaged by critics, while an affectionate portrait of a blustering old gentleman soldier, The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp (1943) brought on its creators the wrath of a government led by no less a figure than Winston Churchill.
		The enforced idleness of Powell's final decade and the frankly inferior quality of late efforts such as The Queen's Guards (1961) and Luna De Miel (1959) did little to damage his reputation among the British film community.
		Of the three, Powell remains the most idiosyncratic, remarkable (and British) of British film-makers, and, particularly during his collaboration with Emeric Pressburger made more great films than was fully appreciated at the time but which are now finally recognised as national treasures.

		This year the Spanish Filmoteca organized a complete retrospective of Michael Powell so that suddenly the achievements of this British film-maker become recognized in a country in which he was previously little known.
		With his films Powell tried to break the rules of conventional cinema while going beyond the foreseen and established, as well as going beyond a reality in which he searched for the human spirit, without ever leaving the immediate emotion and the innocent fascination behind.
		Later this year there is another attempt to increase the awareness of Michael Powell as a major director and to pay him the proper attention he deserves.

	The FCC's Michael Powell. - By Kevin Werbach - Slate Magazine
		Michael Powell and Al Gore have one other thing in common besides their faith in the transforming effects of technology: Both are gadget lovers.
		The rumor in Washington is that Powell imposed his preferred result on the initial draft of the proposed FCC decision, without consulting with his fellow commissioners.
		When you consider that Powell already had prickly relations with Martin and with Commissioner Copps, a Democrat who has allied with Martin before despite their political differences, and that the newest commissioner, another Democrat, was likely to follow Copps's lead, it seems like a recipe for disaster.

	Michael Powell Emeric Pressburger Action Suspense Movies
		But at the same time, together and occasionally separately, Powell and Pressburger are responsible for about a dozen classic action, suspense or spy films that tend to get overlooked because of the excellence of their dramas.
		This time the war is in full swing and Veidt plays a good-guy Danish ship's captain rather than a sympathetic German, and instead of a schoolteacher Hobson gets to play a 1940s version of a bitch (who happens to be a spy).
		Powell was one of three directors but every aspect from Technicolor visuals to the action sequences to ain't-Duprez-gorgeous close-ups hits the mark.

	PC World - FCC Chairman Powell to Resign
		Powell will be remembered for his "forward-looking approach and his strong efforts to drag government policy into the next century," says Tom Tauke, executive vice president of public affairs and communications at Verizon Communications, in a statement.
		Powell argued that market forces, and not the government, should determine the competitive landscape of the telecom industry, but he also pushed the FCC to get more involved in areas such as policing indecency on television and radio airwaves.
		Powell encouraged companies to experiment with unlicensed radio spectrum, leading to broad adoption of Wi-Fi, but the rest of Powell's time at the FCC was "mostly negative," says Michael Calabrese, vice president and director of spectrum policy at the New America Foundation, a centrist think tank focusing on technology and other public policy issues.

	What Happens To VoIP After Powell? - Technology - Network Computing (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Now that he's packing boxes and getting ready for private life, FCC chairman Michael Powell leaves the Voice over IP industry anxiously awaiting his replacement -- and hoping whoever it is sees the market the same way Powell did.
		While Powell leaves with most of the important regulatory work on IP communications issues unfinished, at the very least he helped the FCC take a few baby steps in the direction of protecting VoIP from the death grip of telecom regulation with last year's Pulver Order and Vonage Order.
		Michael Gallagher, deputy director of the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) and an assistant secretary for the Department of Commerce, praised the audience at the Spring 2005 VON show Wednesday in San Jose, Calif., claiming that VoIP would provide a boost to the overall economy.

	Big media have an ally in new FCC chair Michael Powell (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Such a man is Michael Powell, since January the chair of the Federal Communications Commission, the federal agency that regulates telecommunication.
		Unfortunately, Powell's dedication to freedom of expression would seem to be limited to that of corporations; it does not extend, for example, to support for low-power radio broadcasters-- Powell opposed the opening of the bandwidth to new microradio voices on grounds that it might dilute audience share (and ad revenue) for commercial stations.
		Michael Powell looks ready to preside over the erasure of the last hint of official recognition of such a thing as the public interest in media policy-- the interest not just of "consumers" but of citizens, separate from and potentially at odds with media owners' drive to maximize profits.
