FCC Moves January Meeting From Jan 26 to Jan 31

The Federal Communications Commission has moved the January meeting from Jan 26 to Jan 31. In either event, it will come after FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler has left the building and the new Trump Administration has taken over. It is not clear yet which of the Republican commissioners will preside as acting chair, though it is likely senior Republican Ajit Pai. The FCC will now circulate a tentative agenda for the meeting on Jan 10 (three weeks beforehand, per custom).

The move of the meeting was to provide more time for planning following the change in administration and more time with the agenda, apparently, given that one of those Republican commissioners will almost certainly be presiding and in control of that agenda for the meeting.
