Those are probably the folks who think someone with a ham license is a cool dude not a dweeb or a dinosaur.

From: Tyson Burris Sent: Wednesday, November 20, 2024 8:10 AM To: AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group Subject: Re: [AFMUG] new FCC boss After two decades in the wireless internet service provider (WISP) industry, it’s become clear to me that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) hasn’t exactly been our biggest supporter. While we often exchange polite handshakes and warm smiles, these gestures rarely translate into the substantial changes we need for the long-term health of our industry as we aren’t giving away houses in return. Sure, there are occasional offerings from the FCC, but they often fall short of giving us something to truly celebrate. It feels like we’re all caught up in a game—while they play by their own set of rules, we’re doing our best to navigate the landscape. Despite the challenges, we continue to adapt and innovate, always hopeful for a future where our needs are genuinely recognized and addressed. Don’t bet on any side being your bestie.

According to the commentary printed in Newsweek (https://www.newsweek.com/brendan-carr-trump-fcc-pick-project-2025-chapter-1987413), he would have 4 main priorities: 1. Rein in big tech 2. Promote National Security 3. Unleash economic prosperity 4. Ensure FCC accountability and good governence So there is little to nothing in the bullet points that mention the little guy. I would expect he would ignore the little guy. The national security part is a non-specific reference to killing Tiktok. The economic prosperity is a direct boost to Starlink (and is mentioned by name in Project 25). The accountability part indicates that he wants more transparency, and I think that is a good thing. bp <part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com> On 11/18/2024 10:55 AM, Dev wrote: So what will Carr do for/against the little guys? _____ -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com <mailto:AF@af.afmug.com> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
