I've seen some "helpful" posts on what the Biden FCC should/not do, incl. some tired tropes about refraining from 1930s-era regulation. (PS: Social Security is 1930s-era regulation, too.)
So here's a quick top-5 on some things a Biden/Rosenworcel(?) FCC might consider. Thread:

1. #netneutrality 
and reclassification
reclassification gives policymakers the chance to make a real commitment to funding broadband infrastructure, including broadband-only infrastructure, as well as to secure Lifeline support, where it's needed, for broadband subscribers.

2. #netneutrality and state power
the Biden FCC should work with the DOJ to back away from its ill-advised suit against California's rules, and should instead try to scope an appropriate role for local expertise, as it has in myriad other communications contexts.

3. messaging services and reclassification
consistent with above, the FCC should take a fresh look at the regulatory classification of SMS and related services, and decide what statutory class makes the most sense. For more, see here: http://bit.ly/sltm-ssrn

4. inmate calling services
the FCC should work to restore caps on the egregiously high intrastate rates paid by inmates to connect with family and counsel

5. section 230
the FCC should close the section 230 docket or, at minimum, should scope its (still forthcoming) NPRM to define and address problems of competition among platform providers. so far, the regulatory problems in need of solution are still rather vaguely-defined.
