STORY CONTINUES BELOW THESE SALTWIRE VIDEOSWASHINGTON - The U.S. Senate voted Thursday to approve President Joe Biden's nominee for a key fifth seat on the Federal Communications Commission , giving Democrats a majority on the telecommunications regulator.
Since January 2021, the FCC has been deadlocked 2-2, stalling Democrats' efforts to reinstate landmark net neutrality rules revoked under Republican then-President Donald Trump and to pursue other priorities. Biden's first nominee for the open seat, former FCC official Gigi Sohn, withdrew in March after three hearings. She blamed industry opponents for scuttling her nomination.
More than 20 million American households have signed up for the program to date. FCC Chair Jessica Rosenworcel said in May she expects the program will run out of money early next year absent congressional action.In 2019, the FCC voted to deny state-owned Chinese telecom firm China Mobile the right to provide U.S. services and later withdrew U.S. authorizations for several other Chinese telecom carriers, including China Telecom.
