Meet the woman who will bring back net neutrality

Long before the COVID-19 pandemic forced millions of children to attend school via the internet, Federal Communications Commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel was sounding the alarm about US students who lacked access to broadband. Now as FCC Chairwoman, the first woman in the agency's history to hold that title, Rosenworcel will be in a position to fully tackle this problem, including allocating $14 billion in federal funds to create a permanent subsidy program for affordable broadband. She's also expected to bring back the Obama-era net neutrality protections that Republicans dismantled in 2017. Educators and broadband advocates, who have been pushing for the Senate to quickly vote to confirm her before her term expires at the end of 2021, say she's more than capable of taking on these issues.
