Trump nominates Brendan Carr to lead Federal Communications Commission

President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Brendan Carr to chair the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Carr, a senior Republican commissioner, has been confirmed by the Senate three times and previously served as the agency's general counsel. Carr aims to reduce regulations affecting businesses and improve broadband access in rural areas. He has expressed plans to address issues related to Big Tech and Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. Unlike previous nominees, Carr does not require Senate confirmation and can assume his role immediately after Trump's inauguration. He has been a vocal opponent of net neutrality and has criticized the withdrawal of rural broadband subsidies.
