President-elect Donald Trump yesterday announced a third advisor to oversee the Federal Communications Commission’s transition from Democratic to Republican control.

Roslyn Layton, Trump’s new addition, joins Jeffrey Eisenach and Mark Jamison on the FCC transition team. All three are outspoken opponents of the FCC’s Title II net neutrality rules and are affiliated with the conservative American Enterprise Institute (AEI).

Current FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler’s signature move was the reclassification of ISPs as common carriers under Title II of the Communications Act and imposition of net neutrality rules. The move was supported by Democrats and consumer advocates who say ISPs shouldn’t be able to favor or disfavor online content by blocking, throttling, or charging for prioritization. Wheeler’s Title II net neutrality rules survived a court challenge from ISPs but could be eliminated under Trump either with Congressional legislation or FCC action.
