Kristian Stout, director-innovation policy at the International Center for Law & Economics, told us the FCC could be relatively stable, similar to the first Trump administration under Ajit Pai. Carr worked for Pai as an aide and then general counsel before being nominated to the commission.
“Carr has consistently demonstrated a strong interest in working across the aisle, which could provide a stabilizing influence on the FCC’s direction,” Stout said. “His ability to balance priorities and navigate FCC issues with a collaborative mindset could be instrumental in ensuring continuity and productive governance, especially during a period that may otherwise bring significant regulatory shifts.” Stout also noted that Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel has done “commendable work, especially given the complexities she has faced on several high-stakes issues.”
