CALinnovates Lauds President Trump’s Appointment of Ajit Pai as New FCC Chairman

SAN FRANCISCO, January 23, 2017

“In our hyper-partisan country, we still need to be able to get things done. Ajit Pai understands this. He called it like he saw it during his previous term, and I look forward to him continuing to push the envelope as Chairman. To sum it up: Ajit is a hardworking ass kicker who understands the economic and policy concerns of the broad tech sector with an opportunity to unite the FCC in a bipartisan fashion after four years of sharply partisan rulemakings.” – Mike Montgomery, Executive Director

“Chairman Pai’s creativity and business expertise promise to help find a third way to solving our most pressing communication issues. CALinnovates congratulates Chairman Pai and looks forward to working with he and his team.” – Tim Sparapani, Senior Policy Fellow
