Trumps F.C.C. Pick Quickly Targets Net Neutrality Rules – The New York Times
WASHINGTON In his first days as President Trumps pick to lead the Federal Communications Commission, Ajit Pai has aggressively moved to roll back consumer protection regulations created during the Obama presidency.
Mr. Pai took a first swipe at net neutrality rules designed to ensure equal access to content on the internet. He stopped nine companies from providing discounted high-speed internet service to low-income individuals. He withdrew an effort to keep prison phone rates down, and he scrapped a proposal to break open the cable box market.
In total, as the chairman of the F.C.C., Mr. Pai released about a dozen actions in the last week, many buried in the agencys website and not publicly announced, stunning consumer advocacy groups and telecom analysts. They said Mr. Pais message was clear: The F.C.C., an independent agency, will mirror the Trump administrations rapid unwinding of government regulations that businesses fought against during the Obama administration.
