"All year on The Vergecast, we've been tracking the many bizarre and problematic actions of FCC Chairman Brendan Carr. There has been a lot to discuss! Then, this week, ahead of one of our last episodes of the year, Carr appeared in front of the Senate Commerce Committee and spent three hours explaining how he thinks about his job, the FCC, and the state of online communication and entertainment. It was a lot."
"After that, the hosts talk through some odd but telling news in the streaming wars. YouTube got the Oscars; Netflix got and a bunch of podcasts; Warner Bros. doesn't want Paramount's money. Along with producer Travis Larchuk, we then update the Go90 Scale of Doomed Streaming Services, to see who's winning the streaming wars and who's in danger of losing them forever."
FCC Chairman Brendan Carr testified for three hours before the Senate Commerce Committee, explaining his approach to the FCC and online communication and entertainment. The testimony included threats against broadcasters and relied on legacy content-delivery concepts to advance political objectives. The episode reviewed Carr’s notable quotes, traced the history of broadband regulation, and anticipated potential extensions of these tactics to internet regulation next year. Recent streaming developments include YouTube acquiring Oscars access, Netflix expanding into podcasts, and Warner Bros. rejecting Paramount’s money. The Go90 Scale of Doomed Streaming Services was updated to reassess which services are winning or failing. A live CES podcast event is scheduled at the Brooklyn Bowl in Las Vegas on January 7.
