MARKEY ADDRESSES E-RATE AND OTHER TOP TECHNOLOGY ISSUES
[SOURCE: Rep Ed Markey (D-MA)]
Rep. Edward J. Markey (D-MA), the Chairman of the House Subcommittee on Telecommunications and the Internet, received the Alliance for Public Technology’s Susan G. Hadden Award at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. on Friday. In accepting the award, Rep Markey said that affordable access to telecommunications technologies for all Americans is vital not only because it is right and fair but because in the economy of the 21st Century, we need all of our citizens to be productive. In the decades ahead, America needs to compete in a fiercely competitive economy with all of the diversity and productivity and innovation that all our people can muster to the task. "Preparing the next generation for this future was what my original E-rate provision was all about," he noted.
