Abstract

President-elect Donald Trump has appointed Brendan Carr, the senior Republican on the Federal Communications Commission, as its chair. Carr has been with the agency since 2012, serving as an adviser and general counsel. He has advocated for free speech, fought against regulatory constraints, and emphasized the importance of reining in Big Tech and promoting economic growth. Carr has also recommended limiting Section 230 of the Communications Act and aligns himself with Elon Musk on certain issues. Additionally, he has called for the FCC to be technology-neutral in allocating broadband subsidy funding and has worked on initiatives to expand high-speed networks and improve telehealth services for low-income Americans and veterans.
