FCC Nominee Opposes Government Regulation of Broadband Rates

President Joe Biden's pick for a seat on the Federal Communications Commission told a U.S. Senate Committee she does not back government regulation of broadband rates. Gigi Sohn, a former senior aide to Tom Wheeler who served as FCC chairman under former President Barack Obama, said it would take at least a year for the commission to reinstate landmark neutrality rules that were repealed in 2017 under then-President Donald Trump.
