The FCC loses a fierce consumer advocate as Mignon Clyburn resigns
Democrat Mignon Clyburn is leaving the Federal Communications Commission after nine years of service. As part of the FCC’s Democratic majority from 2009 through 2016, Clyburn repeatedly voted for consumer-protection regulations over the objections of Internet service providers. More recently, Clyburn has been on the losing end of many votes as the FCC’s new Republican majority deregulates the broadband and telecom industries.
