President Biden needs to get this straightened out and make progress. This is ridiculous! The public is tired of Trumpism getting in the way. The public is tired of waiting!
LIVE FROM GSMA MOBILITY LIVE, ATLANTA: (click here) Having singled out spectrum as one of the FCC’s biggest challenges at this event two years ago, FCC commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel continues to believe the issue is critical and hinted at plans to launch a high-band spectrum incentive auction.
She hailed the organisation’s incentive auction in the 600MHz band, which involves asking broadcasters to return spectrum they may not be using so the FCC can sell it to operators for use in mobile broadband.
“We sweeten the pot by offering existing broadcasters a cut from the proceeds of the sale,” she said, describing the process as a “really elegant, academic concept” that the FCC is proud of.
The process is ongoing and is expected to finish by early 2017....

Congress hasn't budged (click here) on President Biden's pick for a key tie-breaking FCC seat as the clock ticks down on the chance for a vote.
Why it matters: Without confirmation of Biden's nominee, Gigi Sohn, the communications regulator will remain deadlocked — hobbling efforts to enact the administration's agenda of expanding broadband access and promoting digital equity.
State of play: If Sohn, a lawyer and co-founder of the tech and telecom advocacy group Public Knowledge, doesn't win a vote before summer recess, Democrats could lose their chance to fill the seat should Republicans take control of Congress in November....
Democratic lawmakers’ (click here) inability to secure a majority at the Federal Communications Commission has stymied plans for the agency to restore Obama-era net neutrality rules.
Amid the impasse, lawmakers are renewing efforts to take the issue into their own hands with a sweeping new bill, according to a copy obtained by The Technology 202.
Led by Sens. Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.) and Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), the Net Neutrality and Broadband Justice Act would reclassify broadband as a telecommunications service and open companies like AT&T and Verizon up to stricter oversight by the FCC....

Rosenworcel has been trying to deal with spectrum since 2014, it is time to move on with net neutrality.
Net Neutrality as it was written BACK IN THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION!!
More than any other invention of our time, (click here) the Internet has unlocked possibilities we could just barely imagine a generation ago. And here's a big reason we've seen such incredible growth and innovation: Most Internet providers have treated Internet traffic equally. That's a principle known as "net neutrality" — and it says that an entrepreneur's fledgling company should have the same chance to succeed as established corporations, and that access to a high school student's blog shouldn't be unfairly slowed down to make way for advertisers with more money....
Rosenworcel has been involved in the FCC for a long time, what is the problem already!

Washington - At a conference (click here) hosted by the American Library Association on Friday, FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel reaffirmed her support for net neutrality rules.
According to a press release, Rosenworcel stated she wants to make a “return to common carrier regulation of internet service providers which aims to prevent ISPs from slowing down or blocking web traffic.”
Rosenworcel “fully backs” net neutrality rules passed under the Obama administration that were repealed during the Trump administration. “I opposed the last administration’s effort to roll it back, and I want it to once again become the law of the land,” she stated at the ALA....

Obstructed Government (click here) Because of the Trump White House the Republicans have the federal government deadlocked and don't care about the people.
REPUBLICANS ARE THE PROBLEM STILL. This is an election year issue!
Ms. Sohn is highly qualified as well as a lawyer. It is time to put responsible people on the FCC that will make Net Neurtrality a reality. This is another topic that has to come before the voters in November this year. Net Neutrality is long overdue and it is the radical GOP that is holding it up. Enough of this mess. Put it out there to the voters. This is VITAL to small business and children!

These are huge problems. The people can't get their business done and it because Republicans are obstructing the smooth running of the federal government.
So, in addition to Republicans making women second class citizens there is the FACT that Republicans cannot commit to government that runs smoothly. The FCC and Net Neutrality are hanging in the balance in the November elections. It is time to put the Republicans in full view of the hate of people and small business. Evidently, we get in the way of Russian oligarchs and tax breaks for Wall Street.
Look. Russia sabotaged the 2016 elections, the USA cannot afford an FCC that doesn't work for the people and their elections.
Enough of McConnell dictating our lives with radical Supreme Court justices and stacking the deck within the USA agencies. It is time to make this TACTIC against the people an awareness topic in the November elections. The USA is a mess and it is because of the Republicans.
