Independent Agencies Under Threat: Gigi Sohn on FCC’s Future - Episode 637 of the Community Broadband Bits Podcast
In this episode of the podcast, Chris is joined again by Gigi Sohn to discuss the growing threat to independent agencies like the FCC.
They explore the impact of recent executive orders that seek to strip these agencies of their autonomy, the historical role of the FCC in shaping broadband policy, and what this means for the future of communications regulation.
Sohn shares firsthand insights from her time at the FCC, reflections on the broader implications for democracy, and why the independence of regulatory bodies matters for both industry and the public.
Tune in for a critical conversation on the intersection of policy, politics, and broadband access.
