Republican-Led FCC Removes The Next Jenga Piece In Its Plan To Topple Net Neutrality

Net neutrality is not long for this world. In a 2-1 party-line vote Thursday, the Republican-led Federal Communications Commission (FCC) voted to repeal Title II, the regulatory framework used by the former regime to reclassify broadband providers as common carriers. The proposed rule, part of the FCC’s effort at “restoring internet freedom,” will be subject... Continue reading »

Final Nail: Trump Repeals FCC's Broadband Privacy Rules

Stick a fork in the Federal Communication Commission’s Obama-era privacy rules. As promised, President Trump signed a bill Monday to repeal the ISP privacy regulation passed last year under former FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler.

House Votes To Put The Second-To-Last Nail In The FCC Privacy Rule Coffin

The Republican-led House voted Tuesday to kill the Federal Communication Commission’s ISP privacy rules. All it needs now is the president’s signature, and that is all but assured.

Senate Kills Off FCC Privacy Regulations

The US Senate on Thursday voted down Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations that would have required internet service providers to get users to consent to be targeted by advertisers.

Republican-Led FCC Looks To Block ISP Privacy Rules

The other shoe has dropped: Newly minted Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Ajit Pai on Friday moved to block the implementation of the ISP privacy rules passed under former Commissioner Tom Wheeler.

Net Neutrality Detractor Ajit Pai Replaces Wheeler As FCC Chairman

As of Monday, the Federal Communications Commission has a new chairman: Republican Ajit Pai. Pai replaces Democrat Tom Wheeler, who stepped down on Jan. 20, inauguration day. The newly appointed chairman is far from supportive of most of his predecessor's policies, including the recently passed broadband privacy regs and net neutrality. Pai famously stated in...

What Does It Mean For Advertisers If Net Neutrality Gets Nixed?

As expected, Tom Wheeler will leave his post as FCC chairman on inauguration day and his legacy looks shaky. Likely on the chopping block in a Republican-majority FCC are the commission’s recently ratified ISP privacy rules and a reclassification of broadband providers as common carriers, seen by many as an encroachment on the Federal Trade...

FCC’s Top Cop: ‘It’s Not An Easy Job’

As the clock ticks down to President-elect Trump’s Jan. 20 inauguration, the future of regulatory agencies like the Federal Communications Commission is uncertain.
