Keep the FCC free from Industry Investment Insiders
We reject the nomination of Tom Wheeler for the position of FCC Chairman. We reject the idea of the revolving door between the government which legislates about or regulates an industry and the industry which is supposed to be regulated, Such a pattern of service helps only the industry and damages the only point of redress for the general public's welfare.
Why is this important?
We have witnessed the endemic poor performance of the regulators in government. Nominating Tom Wheeler, lobbyist and venture capitalist for two of the industries he will now be regulating
is another example of the revolving door where industry insiders pose as regulators whose decisions are at the very least loaded with conflict of interest. Such a nominee cannot have the general public's welfare in primary focus.
