its rules reflect the realities of the current marketplace. Under his
leadership, the FCC has been working to update media regulations to
better match today’s dynamic media marketplace. He had previously served
as commissioner at the FCC, appointed by President Barack Obama and
confirmed unanimously by the United States Senate in May 2012.
In a session titled “Raining

legislative agenda. The session, to be held on Monday, April 8, is part
