FCC Stance on Slicing Seen Creating More Questions than Certainty

The proposed order appears to avoid making clear decisions on slicing or how to deal with it, said Jonathan Cannon, R Street Institute policy counsel-technology and innovation and former aide to FCC Commissioner Nathan Simington. The draft said the FCC “will look at the technology as it happens and make a determination based on the existing framework they created,” Cannon said. One implication is the FCC will crack down on slicing if the agency sees it as a form of paid prioritization, he said.
