FCC Chairman Ajit Pai stirred up the hive today with his official declaration of war on the net neutrality rules established in 2015. Reactions have been mixed — depending on whether the person represents the telecommunications industry or not. In the melee, I had a chance to talk with Senator Schatz (D-Hawaii) about the pronouncement.
Schatz is the ranking Democrat on the cumbrously-named Senate Commerce Subcommittee on Communications Technology, Innovation, and the Internet. Among numerous other things, this subcommittee oversees the FCC, so this is the Senator’s wheelhouse.
