- Tom_Wheeler_(lobbyist) abstract "Tom Wheeler, a former lobbyist, is the current Chairman of the FCC, appointed by President Obama and confirmed by the U.S. Senate in November, 2013. Prior to working at the FCC, Wheeler worked as a venture capitalist and lobbyist for the cable and wireless industry, with prior positions including President of the National Cable Television Association (NCTA) and CEO of the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA). In recognition of his work in promoting the growth and prosperity of the cable television industry and its stakeholders, he was inducted into the Cable Television Hall of Fame. In recognition of his work in promoting the wireless industry, he was inducted into the Wireless Hall of Fame.In late April 2014 the contours of a document leaked that indicated that Wheeler's FCC would consider promulgating rules allowing Internet service providers (ISPs) to violate Net Neutrality principles by making it easier for Internet users to access certain content — whose owners paid fees to the ISPs — and harder to access other content, thus undermining the traditional open architecture of the Internet. Substantial backlash manifested in the days following the leak, from activists and the mainstream press.Tom Wheeler raised $700,000 in campaign contributions during President Obama's two presidential election campaigns.In 2007, President Obama stated his strong support for net neutrality. The report of Wheeler's proposal conflicts with the President's position, leading PolitiFact to place a "stalled" rating on his statement, pending the outcome of said proposal. A number of notable senators have already voiced their opposition to the proposal.In 2008, President Obama made a promise never to hire lobbyists to his Administration. He eventually went on to sign an executive order that contained a "waiver" loophole. A number of waivers were issued for lobbyists, and were scrutinized for their lack of transparency. As a result, PolitiFact rates his statement as a broken promise.The new set of rules, backed by FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler, will be proposed on May 15, 2014.".
