I had a chance to meet Tom Wheeler to discuss net neutrality in the summer of 2014. It was coming off of a bad press cycle for him (John Oliver calling him a dingo), so I didn't know what to expect.

He was extremely reasonable and very receptive to the needs of the tech community and small businesses. I came away from the meeting pleasantly surprised and have been happy with his actions during his tenure. Sad to see him go.

That may have been the exact moment that John Oliver jumped the shark.

John Oliver was hardly alone in their skepticism that a former lobbyist would make for a good FCC chairman, but I think everybody can agree that he has been a pleasant surprise.
