My Wish List for the New FCC

A change of administration brings a change to the Federal Communications Commission as the majority swings from Democratic to Republican. I’ve always maintained a regulatory wish list, and the following are my hopes for what we’ll see out of the new FCC. These aren’t predictions—just my own list of hopes. 

• Keep going with the 5G Fund—but get the maps right first. 
• Enforce Rural Digital Opportunity Fund buildout requirements.
• Push Congress to get Spectrum Auction Authority. 
• Say no to big internet service providers once in a while.
• Put some teeth back into the consumer complaint process.
• Do not declare job done and that rural broadband has been fixed.
