ISPs and robocallers love the FCC plan to “delete” as many rules as possible

Industry groups have submitted deregulatory wishlists for the Federal Communications Commission's "Delete, Delete, Delete" initiative that aims to eliminate as many regulations as possible. Broadband providers that want fewer telecommunications regulations and debt collectors opposed to robocall rules were among those submitting comments to the FCC in response to Chairman Brendan Carr's request for public input. The FCC said it opened the official proceeding—which is titled "Delete, Delete, Delete"—because "President Trump has called on administrative agencies to unleash prosperity through deregulation and ensure that they are efficiently delivering great results for the American people." The docket has comments submitted by AT&T, Verizon, and the top lobbying groups for the cable, telecommunications, and mobile broadband industries. Starlink-owner SpaceX and Amazon's Kuiper submitted wishlists for satellite deregulation. The FCC also received deregulatory requests from prison phone company Securus, TV broadcasters, and multiple groups that want less strict robocall rules.
