> I think the 'new FCC' comment is a reference to the current FCC Commissioner being a former general council at Verizon

This is a somewhat silly argument. I remember the same concern over Wheeler; everyone was tripping over themselves to praise him when he turned out to be pro-net neutrality.

While many of us were delighted to be wrong about Wheeler, Ajit Pai has ended up being exactly the kind of spineless corporate shill that you'd expect him to be.

Wheeler was the exception.

Pai will be handsomely rewarded for all the billions he's generated for the telcos.

Oh, I'm not questioning if Pai is/will continue to be a shill. Let's call him that for being a spineless shill, not because he worked at Verizon once. Sorry if I'm nitpicking, but it's an important distinction to me.
