FCC General Counsel to be Named Commissioner
UPDATE: The nominations of both Brendan Carr and Jessica Rosenworcel were confirmed on August 3 by the U.S. Senate, bringing the FCC back to full strength.
President Trump has
announced that he plans to nominate FCC General Counsel Brendan Carr to a seat
on the Commission. Carr is a key ally of FCC Chairman Ajit Pai, according to Newsline, and a strong proponent of
Pai's efforts to roll back the "net neutrality" rules that had been
approved when the commission was under Democratic control.
