Those who look at Washington and see only gridlock and bickering should look to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) as an exception. By implementing improved transparency and review processes in the past months, the FCC has achieved far more transparency than ever before. A shining example of improved transparency at the Commission is the current review of regulations that are hindering innovation and investment through policies tethered to the past.
After two years of debate around the Obama administration’s revival of outmoded Title II regulations, it has become clear that the last FCC’s guidance was structured to allow the Commission to control prices, traffic flow, and content deployment — not to protect basic openness and principles of nondiscrimination around broadband operators or to address cybersecurity concerns.
