Fall is the season when homeowners everywhere clear out the thick underbrush of leaves and twigs from their yards. When the process is done, the reward is a clean, attractive lawn.

Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai has been busy this season doing something similar – taking an axe to unnecessary regulatory underbrush that has slowed the deployment of fast broadband around the country. Just recently, Chairman Pai put forward a detailed set of reforms in a proposed rulemaking; all are designed to remove roadblocks and bugs in the regulatory system that delay too many Americans from getting the fast broadband they need and want.
