I’m going to go out on a limb and assume that a comparison between the Trump and Biden administrations in efforts to police the telecom industry would show a marked difference in both effort and effectiveness.
- crngefest 2y agoI haven’t reviewed any of the facts but I’m gonna go ahead and say that there was zero difference in how these admins policed the telecom industry
- aesh2Xa1 2y agoThe regulatory difference between the Trump and Biden administrations is largely reflected in their FCC chairs, and so you'd look at policy interventions and enforcement under these two: Trump: Ajit Pai (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ajit_Pai https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ajit_Pai) Biden: Jessica Rosenworcel (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jessica_Rosenworcel https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jessica_Rosenworcel) For Rosenworcel, her primary focus seems to be a focus on restoring Net Neutrality. For Pai, his primary focus was on its repeal. The two both share a focus on broadband access and marketing radio spectrum. In terms of banter, Pai is certainly more of a "the free market" personality, and Rosenworcel is more of a "top-down regulation" personality. Regarding impact, I would characterize their offices as substantially unique only in the context of Net Neutrality.
