FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr is now the Federal Communications Commission C🍃hair, rꦆeplacing Biden appointee Jessica Rosenworcel.

Carr has served as a commissioner since 2017 when he was appointed by President Trump during his first term. In the wake of Trump’s second inauguration, Trump has followed through on a promise to appoint Carr as Chair of the FCC.

Carr issued a statement, outlining his 🅺pla🐻nned areas of focus.

Chairman Carr issued :

I am deeply graꦏteful to President Trump and honored by his decision to designate me as Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission. I have had the privilege of working at the FCC for over a dozen years now, including serving previously as the agency’s General Counsel, and I am humbled by the opportunity to lead the FCC.

The FCC has important work ahead—on issues ranging from tech and media regulation to unleashing new opportunities for jobs and growth through agency actions🅷 on spectrum, infrastructure, and the space economy. We will also advance America’s national security ꦑinterests and protect consumers.

I am eager to accelerate the FCC’s work on these and other fronts. I look forward to collaborating with the Trump Administration, my Commission colleagu🃏es, and the FCC’s talented staff as well as Congress to deliver great results for the American people.

Carr’s intent to regulate tech is sure to draw concern from tech companies. On the other hand, Carr was a vocal opponent of net neutrality, as well as other Biden-era regulations. As a result, it’s hard to know exactly what the next four years hold for the tech industry under Carr’s watch.
