It’s Officially Official. Pai’s Trump’s Pick

1

Ajit Pai is the new Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission. The White House made it official on Monday. Pai said he was deeply grateful to the President of the United States for designating him the 34th Chairman of the FCC. “I look forward to working with the new Administration, my colleagues at the Commission, members of Congress, and the American public to bring the benefits of the digital age to all Americans.”

Commissioner Michael O’Rielly congratulated his colleague on the appointment. “I offer my sincere congratulations and best wishes to my friend and colleague, Commissioner Ajit Pai, for being designated as Chair of the FCC. His thoughtful approach, deep knowledge base, and sense of humor have been great assets to the Commission, and it makes sense that President Trump handpicked him to carry out the new Administration’s broad vision for the agency. I know the Commission will thrive under his leadership, and I look forward to working with him and his team to tackle the challenges and capitalize on the opportunities that will present themselves.”

  1. Does everyone realize that Pai is a former Verizon guy who is all hot and sweaty about shooting down Net Neutrality? That will mean, basically, a privatized Internet where “providers” can decide how sites are favored in terms of speed etc. That has serious implications for all of us — and the radio industry. Even this site could well be affected. Shouldn’t the editors raise that side of the Pai story?
