The Federal Communications Commission is holding its monthly meeting right now to vote on a handful of new proposals. But right in the middle of one of FCC chairman Ajit Pai’s first speeches, the room broke out on song — he was rickrolled.

During its April open meeting, the Federal Communications Commission under Trump appointee Ajit Pai passed a number of measures favored by large telecommunications and broadcast conglomerates.

Activists “rickrolled” the Federal Communications Commission’s open meeting to protest Chairman Ajit Pai’s plans to undermine Net Neutrality.

New Jersey has sold off two regional public-broadcasting television licenses for $332 million in a nationwide auction of broadcast television spectrum.

Consumer groups and Democrats are fighting to save the rules, which they say prevent companies from playing favorites with websites and online content.

As soon as the FCC announced results of its broadcast spectrum auction, public-TV stations began to speak out about plans for their proceeds.

The sale of station-owned airwaves to shore up cellular networks offers a rare opportunity to invest in local news and public information needs.

Free Press Action Fund is urging New Jersey lawmakers to use the state’s auction revenues to give communities the news and information they need.

The Republican chairman of the Federal Communications Commission is moving to roll back his agency’s Net Neutrality rules, a plan critics warn could deal another blow to online privacy protections.
