This FCC commissioner vows to keep looking out for you

Federal Communications Commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel is back. And she's ready

to make a ruckus to protect consumers. Rosenworcel, who previously served from 2012 until January of this year, was forced to leave office after Republican lawmakers last year refused to act on her renomination. Why? They worried she could have given Democrats a majority on the FCC. Former Chairman Tom Wheeler, a Democrat, declined for months to say whether he would leave office when the Republican administration took power. Wheeler ended up stepping down from his post on Jan. 20, the day after President Donald Trump's inauguration. After several months, Trump renominated Rosenworcel. She was confirmed by the Senate in August. A lawyer and former Senate staffer, Rosenworcel has pushed for expanding broadband access for low-income consumers and in hard-to-serve areas. She's also advocated for faster deployment of next-generation 5G wireless service. She's been a strong supporter of the FCC's Obama-era net neutrality rules. And now add to this list: She's an outspoken critic of new Republican FCC Chairman Ajit Pai.                                                                                                                                                    https://www.cnet.com/news/outspoken-fcc-commissioner-jessica-ronsenworcel-vows-to-keep-looking-out-for-you/
