Jeremy Pederson has joined USTelecom as vice president of government affairs.

Pederson comes from Frontier Communications, where he was senior manager of federal legislative affairs.

Before that he was counsel to House Energy & Commerce Committee chairman Rep. Gus Bilirakis (R-Fla.). He also has a connection with a good man to know these days, having been a summer clerk to then FCC commissioner Ajit Pai, now chairman.

"He brings a trifecta of policy experience to our work," USTelecom CEO Jonathan Spalter said of Pederson.
