Let's see if Commissioner Carr can be more loyal to his new job
responsibilities than to his previous employment duties. You know, like what
Tom Wheeler managed to do.

FCC Is Back to Full Strength; Carr, Rosenworcel Confirmed
Pai: "Their experience at the FCC makes them particularly well-suited to hit
the ground running"
August 3, 2017
By Paul McLane
WASHINGTON-The FCC is back up to full strength, and Chairman Ajit Pai expressed
pleasure that the Senate has confirmed Brendan Carr and Jessica Rosenworcel.
"I congratulate Brendan and Jessica on their confirmations," said Pai in a
statement."As I know from working with each of them for years, they have
distinguished records of public service and will be valuable assets to the FCC
in the years to come. Their experience at the FCC makes them particularly
well-suited to hit the ground running. I'm pleased that the FCC will once again
be at full strength and look forward to collaborating to close the digital
divide, promote innovation, protect consumers, and improve the agency's
operations."
The commission has been down to three members since the Trump administration
took office. Rosenworcel, a Democrat, is returning now to the commission, where
she served from 2012 through the end of last year. Carr, a Republican, was
general counsel of the FCC and previously was lead advisor to Commissioner Pai
on wireless, public safety, and international issues.
There had been some haggling this week on the Hill over whether Carr should be
confirmed for one year or six.
