“This subcommittee has been busy this Congress working to improve our nation’s communications systems and infrastructure for the 21st century, including passing the first reauthorization of the FCC since 1990. The FCC has been a solid partner in working towards our shared goals to increase broadband internet access, ensure reliable public safety communications, win the race to 5G, and much more. I look forward to receiving an update from Chairman Pai and the commissioners about the latest progress on these issues," said #SubCommTech Chairman Blackburn.
