One consistent point of pride for the Trump FCC, like many Trump agencies, was its active disdain for
real world data. It didn t matter how much data showed that US broadband was expensive and spotty due to monopolization (and there s a
lot of data clearly proving that point), the Trump FCC didn t care. It didn t matter that surveys showed that net neutrality was popular among consumers. Guys like Ajit Pai believed that the US broadband sector was
perfectly healthy and competitive and you make things
even more wonderful by gutting already fairly feckless regulatory oversight even further.
