Be that to run a humble blog, or a multi-site Content Management System (CMS) or eCommerce site.

Here are a few reasons Jessica Rosenworcel’s appointment is good for the internet.
[...]
We look forward to working with the FCC to reinstate net neutrality protections and close the digital divide. Jessica Rosenworcel’s ascent to acting chair of the FCC bodes well for the future of both issues. And we can imagine a brighter future for a healthy internet if she were to be nominated for the role permanently.
