Looking at resumes, you would've thought Wheeler would be an awful FCC chairman, but he turned out ok. Which makes Pai even more frustrating because you look at him and think "I know he has ties to the industry, but he could choose do his job if he wanted to." >The FCC's mission, specified in Section One of the Communications Act of 1934 and amended by the Telecommunications Act of 1996 (amendment to 47 U.S.C. §151) is to "make available so far as possible, to all the people of the United States, without discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, or sex, rapid, efficient, Nationwide, and world-wide wire and radio communication services with adequate facilities at reasonable charges." Imagine having that mandate and going out of your way to take the position that you don't have any authority over internet connections.
