His argument is just 'this is a new way of applying these regulations, and that bad!'. Nothing about the cost impact that this will have for consumers, nothing about merits of the case, just political BS.
He's our incoming FCC head who previously was a lawyer for AT&T, Verizon, and US Telecom [1]. This is going to be a very bad 4 years to be an internet user except for probably Twitter users who will get preferential treatment.

- whoitwas 2y agoLike Ajit? GOP always staffs agencies like regulatory capture is the end game.
- kristopolous 2y agoThere's really two ways to read that behavior: 1. bad faith: They're a corrupt band of thieves trying to plunder our pocketbooks 2. good faith: They're ideologically committed to this strategy and believe it is beneficial I think I can argue #2 from a GOP perspective but I've always found their arguments to be thoroughly unconvincing so I don't know if I truly understand it. It's much easier to handwave people away as corrupt and incompetent but that's effectively a stand-in for any power broking behavior you don't understand.
- whoitwas 2y agoI never claimed incompetence. They're very effective.
