FCC Chairman @BrendanCarrFCC says today’s AI warnings are running the same playbook as net neutrality, when critics predicted the “end of the internet” and he says the opposite followed: "There's very few debates that are actually new. The core features of these debates just repeat. And I think the greatest comparator to today's AI debate is the net neutrality debate." "CNN and others ran these banner headlines that said, end of the internet as we know it. And what are we seeing right now? We're seeing the same people run the same playbook when it comes to AI." "We didn't do the, quote, net neutrality regulation, and what's happened? We had internet speeds go up. We had prices go down. We had new infrastructure get built." "We have to win this policy debate and this public PR debate when it comes to AI as well." @FCC

This week, I’ve had the opportunity to visit American builders and manufacturers in the Bay Area, where the spirit of free enterprise is leading some of the most innovative companies in the world to develop the next generation of satellite, drone, and advanced computing technology. Yesterday, I toured Astranis, Skydio, and Planet Labs to see how American aerospace innovators are developing advanced satellite communications systems, autonomous flight and sensing, and global observation and intelligence networks.

Big news for American wireless leadership! Red tape was slowing down Americans' access to new spectrum and @WHOMB just cut it. This sets up legacy policy wins for the Trump Administration and clears the path for a 2.7 GHz auction in 2028. We appreciate @NTIAgov and @FCC leadership and look forward to investing more in the world's best wireless service.
American leadership in 6G starts with spectrum. 🇺🇸 NTIA applauds OMB’s latest memo, which will drastically expedite the process for repurposing federal spectrum for commercial use—setting the groundwork for multiple 6G auctions in 2028 and beyond. More: ntia.gov/press-release/2026/…
