The FCC’s First 6 Months and What to Expect

A fireside chat with Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Commissioner Nathan Simington and telecommunications expert Joel Thayer Attorney at Phillips Lytle LLP and Outside Policy Counsel for Lincoln Network.

The FCC’s agenda on broadband buildout and how the FCC’s policies will develop in the coming months with this new administration.

The FCC has been moving quickly on important regulatory proceedings, such as promoting WiFi capabilities to provide more access to broadband, clarifying rules on 5G broadband infrastructure, and opening up more spectrum that will support innovative 5G IoT services, like telehealth and connected cars.

Broadband is increasingly becoming the lifeblood on which our economy depends. The only solution is to find new and innovative ways to reach those Americans living in a “digital desert” to ensure that all can participate in the new economy and tap into rural America’s unlimited potential to provide new and innovative services.
