Nacchio was tapped in 2001 as vice chairman of NSTAC, which is a group of 30 telecom and technology CEOs that provides advice and analysis to the president and other government officials on matters of national security such as how to safeguard the nation's telecom infrastructure and protect critical information. Nacchio said in a statement that the position would not interfere with his responsibilities at Qwest, a company that provides local phone service in 14 U.S. states and other telecom services. --Sam Ames, Special to ZDNet News
