The FCC under Tom Wheeler

Washington insider Tom Wheeler has an extensive track record in both public and private sector technology. In “What would Wheeler do? 6 issues to watch,” Politico’s Brooks Boliek takes a look at six issues that could reveal what a Wheeler FCC would tackle. Here’s the topics and what they examine:

  • Look to the past – Wheeler’s an amateur historian
  • Mend fences – making nice to both Democratic and Republican commissioners
  • Past as prologue for the IP transition – wrestling with the big upcoming tech change
  • The spectrum hunter – getting broadcasters to cooperate in the auction
  • Wheeler dealer – guiding the endless mergers of the industries
  • Keeping it in neutral – backing an open Internet
