FCC Commissioner Baker Defends Jump to Comcast Meredith Attwell Baker says Comcast never approached her about its takeover of NBC Universal while she was a member of the FCC , though a few months after she voted to approve the deal, she's now at work as a lobbyist for the new company. That's raised a lot of eyebrows. As a regulator, whose interests did she have in mind? Amy Schatz covers the Federal Communications Commission for the Wall Street Journal .

FCC Poised to Approve First Net Neutrality Rules By a party-line vote of 3-to-2, the Federal Communications Commission has approved new rules for Internet traffic to protect consumers by guaranteeing access and requiring more public disclosure from cable and telephone companies.

Will it hold up in court? Amy Schatz covers the FCC for the Wall Street Journal .

California catastrophe The fires rage on in our own backyard, and in Northern California, encompassing tens of thousands of acres each. In L-A and Ventura Counties, the Woolsey Fire has scorched everything in its path.
