Marketers express hope for a more pro-business FCC under Ajit Pai

Marketers are welcoming the appointment of new Federal Communications Commission chairman Ajit Pai, who took over from Tom Wheeler last week. The Association of National Advertisers and the American Association of Advertising Agencies expressed hope that Pai will overturn many of the sweeping privacy rules that were enacted by the agency under his predecessor Tom Wheeler, which limited data gathering, use and sharing by internet service providers like Verizon and Comcast.
