As it faces criticism about its approach to net neutrality, Facebook has hired a former FCC chairman, Kevin Martin, to handle its policy on mobile and global access.
Martin, a Republican, led the FCC from 2005 to 2009, and in 2008, was involved in a major net neutrality fight, as Comcast was caught throttling peer-to-peer internet traffic. Martin voted against other Republican FCC commissioners to censure Comcast on the practice, although the order was eventually thrown out, setting the stage for this year’s historic net neutrality fight.
