Yes since it would shift the FCC commissioners makeup to a 3D-2R. His term would have normally expired at the end of June. O'Rielly will also need to be replaced with his term expiring at the start of next Congress. But the maximum number of commissioners affiliated with a single political party is 3.

Frontier tried to charge me for their router this month. Make sure you're checking with your ISPs. Had to call support to reverse the charge (I have my own. I don't use theirs)

Comcast now says the new restrictions won’t be imposed on its Northeast customers until July 21, though Comcast customers in already capped markets won’t see any such reprieve.

In a statement Comcast made it clear the company was only delaying the expansion of broadband caps, not suspending them entirely. The suspension also doesn’t impact usage caps that already exist in 27 of the 39 states Comcast operates in.

“We are delaying implementation of our new data plan in our Northeast markets until 2022,” Comcast said. “We recognize that our data plan was new for our customers in the Northeast, and while only a very small percentage of customers need additional data, we are providing them with more time to become familiar with the new plan.”

Gov. Newsom signed into law a bill that would allocate $6 billion to expand internet broadband access in the state. $3.25 billion would be allocated for building a "middle-mile" broadband network while $2 billion is set aside for last-mile infrastructure.
