Members of Congress from the great state of Pennsylvania are asking the Federal Communications Commission to "quickly issue a public notice of the hearing location and schedule." The FCC is holding a hearing in the Keystone State on Friday and Reps Mike Doyle, Tim Holden, Robert Brady, and Allyson Schwartz say future hearings should be held with more advanced public notice. "With Monday being the President's Day holiday, we believe that you're leaving very little time for the public to hear about and plan to attend the hearing," they wrote. "In addition, we understand the hearing is likely to take place during a weekday rather than a weekend, or after 6 p.m. when working people can attend. While no time is perfect for everyone, we believe that those hours will severely limit participation, particularly when those who may want to take time off of work haven't been given all the necessary details in a timely fashion. For future hearings," they said, "we ask that you provide the public enough notice, full event details including location and holding a hearing at a time that will allow the largest number of citizens to attend."
