Biden urges FCC to undo Pai’s legacy—but it can’t until he picks a third Democrat | Ars Technica

… "The Order tackles four issues that limit competition, raise prices, and reduce choices for Internet service," the Biden fact sheet's broadband section said. "More than 200 million US residents live in an area with only one or two reliable high-speed Internet providers, leading to prices as much as five times higher in these markets than in markets with more options…

Trump's FCC votes to take $2 billion from cities and towns and give it to telecoms - Daily Kos

Was $200,000 from AT&T enough to buy off Trump and Ajit Pai on net neutrality repeal? - Daily Kos

This week Senate Democrats will force a vote to restore net neutrality on the Senate floor. Proponents currently have the backing of 47 Democrats and two independents who caucus with Democrats as well as Republican Senator Susan Collins.

FCC Commissioner: Our Policy Is ‘Custom Built’ for Right-Wing Sinclair Broadcasting -- The Daily Beast

Sometime this spring, the Federal Communications Commission is expected to take a step without precedent in the history of U.S. communications policy. Once upon a time a watchdog agency, the FCC is going to approve a near-$4 billion merger between two companies that will result in the parent company's programming—and probably, not coincidentally, its right-wing politics—being broadcast into 72 percent of American homes. ....

The FCC Tried To Hide Net Neutrality Complaints Against ISPs | Techdirt

When FCC boss Ajit Pai first proposed killing popular net neutrality protections (pdf), he insisted he would proceed "in a far more transparent way than the FCC did" when it first crafted the rules in 2015. That promise has proven to be a historically-hollow one.

Pai's agency is already facing numerous lawsuits for refusing to disclose conversations with ISP lobbyists about the plan to kill net neutrality, refusing to disclose net neutrality complaints filed with the agency, refusing to be transparent about a DDoS attack the FCC apparently concocted to downplay the "John Oliver effect," and for ignoring FOIA requests related to its failure to police website comment fraud during the public comment period.....

After Attacking Random Hollywood Supporters Of Net Neutrality, Ajit Pai Attacks Internet Companies | Techdirt

So, we already talked about FCC chair Ajit Pai's odd attacks on a small group of Hollywood celebrities for daring to support net neutrality, but his other point of attack seemed even more random: internet companies. Remember, the whole point of Pai doing this -- according to his very own words -- is to get the government out of the internet and to allow for what he calls "internet freedom." But, it's funny, because that's not really the message you'd get if you heard Pai speaking over the past few days. In his talk on Tuesday he seemed to be suggesting that perhaps Twitter, in particular, needed a heavy dose of regulation:....

The FCC Wants to Kill Net Neutrality. But Congress Will Pay the Price | WIRED
