The FCC is exlusively operated by past, present and future industry lobbyists. They are a perfect example of “regulatory capture” manifest.

There is absolutely no reason to respect the FCC at all. Not even a little. They need to be completely erased and replaced with a legitimate oversight organization that cannot be so easily taken over by corporations.
