There were a lot of concerns when Mr Wheeler took over and he greatly surprised everyone. Let's be patient and see what happens next.

  > There were a lot of concerns when Mr Wheeler took over and he greatly surprised everyone. Let's be patient and see what happens next. When Wheeler was nominated, there were some concerns that he wouldn't even want to live up to the promises that Obama made. That's a very different situation from being worried that the next chairman will live up to the promises that Trump has made.

    What FCC-related promises has Trump made? I know he's said a lot of unsettling things, but nothing springs to mind regarding net neutrality or the like.

      This is the best I could find in 5 minutes of click-research: https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/532608358508167168 https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/53260835850816716... I wouldn't call it a promise, but it does make an anti NN argument.

  I was pretty negative when he was nominated and very pleasantly surprised and happy to be wrong about my initial concerns. I have a lot of respect for the man now, in fact.

    If he ran for president in 4 years he would have my vote. So few politicians realize that they are supposed to be working for the people, not the mega corps.

      I hadn't thought about this. He might bring a refreshing change. Sure did to the FCC.
