While the world watched the tragedy in Vegas...

...the Senate quietly reconfirmed the FCC Chairman to another five year term (which is unusual, by the way). He remains committed to further media deregulation, and the end of Net Neutrality.

All you need to know about him is that the media and telecom giants love him.

And the consumers won't know what hit them for many years. We will be paying more for less, the quality of the media product will continue to degrade. And there's nobody at the top looking out for us. His job is to regulate the public airwaves and he's in the pocket of the industry.
