FCC ‘shouldn’t be hiding’ in Washington, Commissioner Pai says

Federal Communications Commission member Ajit Pai is criticizing the agency for staying in Washington instead of getting feedback from the rest of the country.

“I was disappointed when the FCC decided to hold each one of its recent net neutrality roundtable discussions at our Washington headquarters,” he said at the start of the forum hosted by the George Bush School of Government and Public Service. “And that’s why I wish that my colleagues were here with me today." He added, “On this issue and other critical issues, the FCC shouldn’t be hiding in our nation’s capital.”

Commissioner Pai hosted a forum in College Station (TX) to discuss possible new rules for Internet service providers and said that more of his fellow commissioners should follow his lead.
