FCC commissioner writes op-ed titled, “It’s time for Trump to DOGE the FCC“

The FCC is considering a sweeping reform package inspired by President Trump's "DOGE" vision, proposing significant cuts to its budget, including drastically reducing reliance on the Universal Service Fund that funds broadband access and deployment. Commissioner Nathan Simington advocates for shifting funding models to initiatives like Starlink, automating processes to enhance efficiency, and streamlining license reviews to cut unnecessary bureaucracy. This move reflects a broader push by Trump to streamline government operations and reduce regulatory burdens.
