AFAIK, it's been over a decade since they have done anything helpful or useful for any American citizen who isn't the head of a major corporation. If you delete the entire organization, there will be no one around to enforce whatever regs are still on the books so who cares? ... and you'll save another few 10's of millions of dollars annually which will fit nicely in the pockets of the "good folks", aka FODT. 😊😊😊

I worked with a CA state regulator in a tech support role prior to
so-called broadband (actually, internet access beyond dial-up MODEMs)
This was post 1996 telco act, just prior to the dot com bubble. The
lobbyists at the time disliked having 50 States regulating things.
They pushed made it so the 5 commissioners on the FCC became the
primary regulators. Many call this regulatory capture.

Unfortunately, I don't think we can get rid of the FCC. Our utility
poles are mostly regulated by them as one example.

I also don't think the FCC can mandage any specific AQM algorithm.
That's a long term disaster in the making for sure. Let network
engineers and the market battle that out.

project you may be interested in - not sure.
