She’s a proponent of universal broadband access. This could mean more targeting of microwave spectrum. Nothing seems to indicate her knowledge of amateur radio being beyond very basic. Ajit Pai was well aware of ham radio but that didn’t seem to get us much. That said, a change in governance would be a good time for a fresh look on things which could potentially gain us something. 73 Ria N2RJ On Wed, Oct 27, 2021 at 4:24 PM Mickey Baker <fishflorida@gmail.com> wrote:

Now, perhaps, the FCC can act on all these NPRMs - bandplan, symbol rates, etc.

Are these people aware of amateur radio? Is there any history that might reveal their biases?

ODV,

Indeed, the White House just now announced the below nominations. President Biden also designated Commissioner Rosenworcel as FCC Chair, effective immediately.

Attached is the press release.

ODV,

A little political update. While not yet officially announced, I have it on good authority that key Congressional staff are being briefed that President Biden intends to nominate acting FCC Chairwomen Rosenworcel to a new term at the FCC and to designate her as permanent Chairwoman. Gigi Sohn, a long-time communications policy activist and advisor to former Chairman Wheeler, is said to be in line to be nominated for the other vacant Democratic seat. (Gigi has a side gig hosting a podcast on communications and tech issues that is available here: https://glenecho.libsyn.com/.)

Rosenworcel must leave the Commission when Congress adjourns in December when the statutory extension of her current term expires, but the betting is that she will be re-confirmed by the Senate before adjournment.
