Two Federal Communications Commission commissioners, Geoffrey Starks and Nathan Simington, are resigning this week, leaving the FCC with only two members: Chairman Brendan Carr and Anna Gomez. Starks had announced his departure earlier, while Simington's resignation comes as he seeks new opportunities. This shift changes the agency's partisan balance from a 2-2 split to a 1-1 split, which may influence decision-making processes at the FCC in the future. Carr's ability to secure a majority may not take as long as experienced previously by his predecessor.
"I will be concluding my tenure at the Federal Communications Commission at the end of this week. It has been the greatest honor of my professional life to serve the American people as a Commissioner."
"My departure means the FCC will transition from a 2-2 split to a 1-1 split, potentially affecting the agency's decision-making process in the near term."
