Bringing back real consumer protection to the FCC

There are literally millions of consumer complaints about robocalls, a doubling over the last 5 years, but just a few thousand about network neutrality. That the Federal Communications Commission has focused on net neutrality and allowed robocalls to grow worse seems patently anti-consumer. Fortunately the new Republican-led FCC is poised to address what consumers actually care about rather than a crony capitalist agenda of pseudo consumer protection.
