FCC Heads To Capitol Hill For Hearing Thursday

The House Subcommittee on Communications, Technology, and the Internet plans to hold an oversight hearing of the Federal Communications Commission Thursday. The hearing will focus on progress of the national broadband plan to bring high-speed Internet to all American homes and businesses. Lawmakers will also review the slow progress of creating a public safety network for emergency first responders. And they plan to quiz the five-member commission about its review of competition in the wireless industry.
