Bye-bye, Mr Ajit Pai ➹

Telco regulation is usually fraught with pitfalls, but this mandate was particularly egregious and did a fair amount of damage, both inside and outside the US (with local lobbies in various countries taking advantage of the US “example” for their own nefarious purposes).

At a time when telcos and media services are one of the few things holding our civilization together, it will be great to have someone with less vested interest in charge–and that, I think, would be a much better example to the industry in general.

(Any relationship between this comment and the current ongoing fracas regarding the 5G spectrum auction in Portugal is just serendipitous coincidence, of course…)
