[1st-mile-nm] FCC oversight hearing this morning

[Cummins, Kevin (Tom Udall)]

All,

I just want to flag that Sen. Tom Udall chaired an oversight  hearing on the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) budget request earlier today.

FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler and Commissioner Ajit Pai participated.

First Milers might be interested in several discussion topics at the hearing... including FCC reform of universal service programs (Connect America Fund, E-Rate), upcoming spectrum auctions, tackling the digital divide in rural areas and on Tribal lands, etc.

Best,

Kevin
