FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler (a Democrat) is the
former CEO
of the cable industry's top lobbying group, while the current head of
the cable lobby—Republican Michael Powell—used to be the FCC chairman.
Though they have held the same jobs, Wheeler and Powell are at odds over
how to regulate Internet service, with Powell, as CEO of the National
Cable & Telecommunications Association (NCTA), leading the charge
against his former agency.
