President Trump has renominated Ajit Pai to the FCC for another five years, meaning he'll continue to run the agency for the foreseeable future. His first term technically ended in June 2016, but Pai has been heading towards reconfirmation ever since.
Since he became chairman of the FCC, Pai has moved to prevent certain privacy rules from being implemented and he has opposed net neutrality.
I am deeply honored to have been nominated by President Trump to serve a second term on the Federal Communications Commission. If I am fortunate to be confirmed by the Senate, I will continue to work with my colleagues to connect all Americans with digital opportunity, foster innovation, protect consumers, promote public safety, and make the FCC more open and transparent to the American people.- Pai
Trump is also going to eventually nominate two people to fill empty spots on the commission.
