much of the responsibility for this downward trajectory rests with the current chairman tom wheeler. for example, during chairman wheeler's confirmation process, i asked him if he would commit to coming to congress for more direction before attempting another iteration of net neutrality rules. mr. wheeler unequivocally said that he would do so. however, not only did mr. wheeler not come to congress for more direction, at the behest of president obama, he jammed through the most radical implementation of net neutrality rules ever, a power grab of stunning proportions. and he did so on a purely partisan vote. the number of 3-2 party line votes on commission meeting items during mr. wheeler's tenure are a clear indication of an f.c.c. chairman who embraces partisanship over compromise. just the first year of his chairmanship, mr. wheeler forced through more items on party-line votes than the previous four chairs combined -- combined. chairman wheeler speaks often on market forces. hearing that, one might think he would exercise his agency's powers with humility and a light touch in orde
