Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Commissioner Brendan Carr is vehemently opposing the Biden administration’s “digital equity” plan, labeling it as an “unlawful power grab.” Carr is gearing up for a significant FCC vote on November 15, where the fate of the president’s plan hangs in the balance. Expressing his concerns, Carr emphasized that the expansive regulatory approach requested by President Biden was never envisioned by Congress, and he questions the FCC’s authority to implement such far-reaching measures. This disagreement sets the stage for a critical decision that could shape the future landscape of internet services and infrastructure in the United States.

Federal Communications Commission Commissioner Brendan Carr is calling the Biden administration’s “digital equity” plan for all internet services and infrastructure an “unlawful power grab.”
Carr previewed an important FCC vote next week on Nov. 15 about whether to implement the president’s plan.
“Congress never contemplated the sweeping regulatory regime that President Biden asked the FCC to adopt—let alone authorized the agency to implement it,” he said.
Carr explained that the Biden administration’s “broadband policies are failing” and the “costs of building Internet infrastructure in this country have skyrocketed” due to his economic policies. While the FCC has been looking to expand “new, 5G services,” it has “needlessly blocked and delayed new broadband infrastructure builds” because of “regulatory red tape.”
