FCC's Pai Teams With Rep Latta On Rural Roundtable

Federal Communications Commissioner Ajit Pai will be joining House Communications Subcommittee member Rep Bob Latta (R-OH) during the latter's August visits back in the district.

Neither the House nor Senate are in session, with house members scheduled for district work weeks until Sept 8, when they are scheduled to get back to work in Washington.

According to Rep Latta's office, FCC Commissioner Pai will be in Toledo Aug 14 for a roundtable discussion on rural telecommunications as well as a tour of Buckeye Telesystem there. Commissioner Pai, who grew up in rural Kansas, has made rural telecom a signature issue of his tenure on the commission.
