Brendan Carr, chair of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), has unveiled a sweeping regulatory rollback initiative that opens every single existing FCC rule, regulation, or guidance document to potential revision or outright elimination.

Dubbed “In re: Delete, Delete, Delete,” Carr said in a March 12 announcement, the effort aims to streamline the regulatory process, eliminate bureaucratic barriers, and align with the Trump administration’s broader push to reduce government overreach and boost economic opportunities.
