Rep Walden Announces Hearing with FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler on May 20

The Subcommittee on Communications and Technology, chaired by Rep Greg Walden (R-OR), will have a hearing to conduct oversight of the Federal Communications Commission May 20, 2014. Federal Communications Commission Chairman Tom Wheeler will be the sole witness.

“I am pleased that Chairman Wheeler will join us in May,” said Rep Walden. “This will be our first opportunity to directly discuss issues important to our technology economy, including recent proposals regarding the incentive auctions, the latest iteration of the administration’s ill-advised net neutrality policies, and the broadcast joint sharing agreements and media ownership proceedings at the commission. Process reform also remains a top priority for the committee, and we look forward to discussing this with the chairman.”
