Following an executive order from President Donald Trump, Carr will be launching a broader effort to ensure that every company the FCC regulates complies with civil rights protections by ending any invidious form of DEI discrimination.
"I am starting this broader effort with Comcast and NBCUniversal for two reasons," Carr wrote. "First, as noted above, there is substantial evidence that your companies are still engaging in the promotion of DEI."
"Second, your companies cover a range of sectors regulated by the FCC — from cable to high-speed internet and from broadcast TV stations to MVNO [mobile virtual network operator] wireless offerings."
