Free Press Senior Policy Counsel Gaurav Laroia talks to Counterspin about how the FCC is holding water for Trump until the very end.

Trump may have soured on Fox since he lost the election, but it seems his FCC chairman, Ajit Pai, has not.

The sole purpose of Nathan Simington's nomination is "obstructing the incoming Biden administration and its FCC appointees," said Free Press VP Matt Wood.

What departing FCC Chairman Ajit Pai and the Republican Senate have cooked up could keep Net Neutrality from becoming a reality again.

Digital-rights groups applauded the news that Pai — known for his efforts to destroy Net Neutrality and his fealty to corporate interests — will resign his post.

Consumer advocates say Pai not only infamously repealed the agency’s Net Neutrality rules but also failed to bridge the digital divide.

“If the FCC grants the administration’s proposal, no websites or platforms would be able to set their own standards," said Free Press Senior Counsel Gaurav Laroia.

Facebook’s tools have allowed Trump’s bogus and dangerous claims of election impropriety and voter fraud to go viral.

Comcast’s monthly usage caps serve no technical purpose, existing only to exploit customers stuck in uncompetitive broadband markets.

Starting next year, Comcast subscribers in 14 additional states and the District of Columbia who consume more than 1.2 TB of data per month will see higher bills.
