Rosenworcel sides with Pai and O'Rielly, agrees Wheeler set-top proposal is 'flawed'
Subjected to more than three hours of grilling, along with her FCC Commission colleagues, by a House subcommittee Tuesday, Jessica Rosenworcel strongly hinted that she has turned against FCC Commissioner Tom Wheeler's pay-TV set-top box regulatory proposal.
Directed by Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) to answer only "yes" or "no" to a series of pointed questions, Democrat Rosenworcel joined Republican FCC Commissioners Ajit Pai and Michael O'Rielly in answering in the affirmative to the query, "Do you agree that the initial FCC set-top proposal is flawed?"
Rosenworcel also answered "yes" to the question, "Do you agree that if the FCC is to move forward, it should follow a different approach than outlined in the NPRM?"
