This would not have ever been announced while Lina Khan was running the FCC.

Lina Khan never ran the FCC. She also had no business running the FTC, but turns out that "The Common Law Origins of the Infield Fly Rule" was the last law review article anyone actually read and you can write complete garbage and end up running an administrative agency and lose a lot of frivolous attempts at regulation. As long as you went to an Ivy.

What does the FCC have to do with this?

Anti-trust. They're selling part of the problem (inference via Gemini) and now they're selling a solution. They also dominate web standards by developing the dominant browser. And they control one of two dominant phone platforms that will collaborate to enable this solution.

If this were some smaller company that just did cloud then it'd never even make it to PoC. This can only happen because it's Google Cloud, and they can leverage everything they own all at once. Those not buying into their ecosystem can take a hike.

The FCC doesn't enforce antitrust law. That's the FTC. (The FTC is also the commission that Lina Khan chaired for a while.)

		Oops, Yes. I got 2/3 of the letters correct, though. I think that might be a better rate of success than their court cases during those years.
