House Communications Subcommittee Schedules Hearing on FCC Budget

The House Communications Subcommittee has scheduled a hearing for March 4 on the Federal Communications Commission's 2016 budget request. “Is the FCC best positioned to handle the challenges of the innovation era? Americans’ demand for state-of-the-art communications and technology platforms for interacting and conducting business continues to grow," said House Communications Subcommittee Chairman Greg Walden (R-OR) in announcing the hearing. "This hearing is a part of our ongoing effort to modernize the federal government and ensure that the FCC has the tools to transparently and efficiently carry out its mission on behalf of the American people.”
