WASHINGTON, June 2, 2026 – FCC Space Bureau Chief Jay Schwarz says that new internet policy reforms will bring “more competition, better services, and lower prices” in a May 29 article for The Dallas Morning News.
Schwarz argued that the combination of rapid innovation and recent deregulation have delivered tangible results to Americans, including a 51% increase in download speeds while using 32% more data and a 4.1% drop in prices for wireless subscribers. “This progress has been fueled by two key factors: American ingenuity and the power of competition” Schwarz said in the article.
