Confirming reports that have appeared over the past week, Donald Trump has picked Ajit Pai to head the FCC. He's replacing Tom Wheeler and his appointment to the chairman position means the agency will be led by an opponent of net neutrality.
Pai strongly opposed the FCC's net neutrality rules that were adopted in 2015. He'll likely work to get rid of the regulations as chairman.
During the Trump Administration, we will shift from playing defense at the FCC to going on offense. We need to fire up the weed whacker and remove those rules that are holding back investment, innovation, and job creation.- Pai
