Trump Appoints Brendan Carr as FCC Chairman

President-elect Donald Trump has appointed Brendan Carr, a conservative Federal Communications Commissioner, to chair the FCC. Carr, who has been a commissioner since 2017, is expected to lead a rollback of progressive telecom policies, such as net neutrality, and focus on freeing up wireless spectrum for private use. His agenda includes reining in Big Tech and ensuring broadcasters serve the public interest. However, Carr will initially face limitations without a GOP majority at the FCC, pending the nomination and confirmation of a third Republican commissioner.
