Commissioner Simington has proposed significant changes to the FCC, including streamlining the licensing process to enhance efficiency and reduce market delays. He suggests moving employees from the Media Bureau, which he views as overstaffed due to its diminishing role in regulating traditional media, to other sectors facing staffing shortages. His plan also includes implementing automated workflows for license applications to foster innovation and speed. Despite potential conflicts with existing regulations and the agency's current political deadlock, he emphasizes the need for modernization within the FCC.
