Axios: “Ajit Pai will leave his post as chairman of the Federal Communications Commission on Jan. 20, the agency said today. Pai’s Inauguration Day departure is in keeping with agency tradition, and could set up the Biden administration with a 2-1 Democratic majority at the FCC if the Senate fails to confirm another Trump nominee during the lame-duck period. Pai, a Republican tapped by President Trump to be chairman after serving as a commissioner, led a deregulatory charge in the telecom sector. Pai repealed Obama-era net neutrality rules and sought to loosen restrictions on broadcast station group ownership.”
