Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai is scheduled to speak at the popular Conservative Political Action Conference on Friday, confirming his rock-star status as a deregulatory hero to the center-right. His short talk, humorously titled “American Pai: The Courageous Chairman of the FCC,” will be followed by a panel discussion with fellow Republican FCC Commissioners Michael O’Rielly and Brendan Carr.

Pai will find himself in a friendly crowd of supporters for his innovation-friendly agenda — and there is a lot to celebrate. In just one year, Pai’s FCC has reversed sloppy net neutrality regulations, auctioned more spectrum for commercial use, and rolled out a next-gen transmission standard.
