WASHINGTON, DC - Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Fred Upton (R-MI) and Communications and Technology Subcommittee Chairman Greg Walden (R-OR) today issued the following statement after the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) delayed its vote on Chairman Wheeler’s set-top box vote.
“It’s clear that the many questions about the scope and authority of the commission in this set-top box proceeding have taken their toll on its consideration," said Upton and Walden. “As we’ve stated before, this process has been clouded with uncertainty and indecision around both what the commission is proposing and whether the proposal is supported by legal authority. It’s time for the commission to engage in the transparent process that the public deserves. It’s time for Chairman Wheeler to release the text and seek public comment."
