Sena Fitzmaurice

Long a blog consumer, I'm dipping my toes in the blogsphere finally as a contributor. I work in Comcast's DC Government Affairs office explaining Comcast's positions on legislative and regulatory issues to the media and other public audiences. I'll mostly be blogging about those issues - things like national broadband policy, media ownership and maybe even a little politics. My whole life has been spent inside the Beltway, DC is my hometown - favorite local blogs include DCist.com, Projectbeltway.com, and BrightestYoungThings.com. I watch way too much TV (good thing I work at a cable company) and spend my weekends trolling through attics and basements at DC estate sales so that I can dress and accessorize like Joan Holloway.
