Senate Confirms Starks and Carr, Ensuring Stability for FCC

The FCC has “been ready to go to meet the statutory guidelines” on digital discrimination, but “the scope of the order will change significantly” from what a 2-2 commission would have been able to do, said Jonathan Cannon, R Street fellow-technology and innovation and a former aide to Commissioner Nathan Simington. “I could also see Rosenworcel looking at expanding E-rate, which she has been hoping to do for a long time,” Cannon said: “I’m sure she’s got ideas for the next few months. I think she’ll start moving rapidly.”
