Remarks of Commissioner Clyburn at Competitive Carriers Association

I wish to talk about the ongoing work at the Commission when it comes to that goal, as well as the Connect2Health initiative, which examines the intersection of broadband connectivity, advanced technology and health. The Commission’s universal service programs serve as an important enabler of opportunities for many in our communities that would otherwise be left in digital darkness. My overarching principle when it comes to universal service is the most “bang for the buck.” How can we get the best broadband to the most people while maximizing limited universal service fund dollars.

On October 19th, I will host my #Solutions2020 Policy Forum in Washington, DC to explore solutions to bringing affordable and competitive services to consumers and small businesses. The forum is the culmination of my #ConnectingCommunities tour, which I embarked on less than six months ago. I hope to see you there so that we may continue our dialogue on how best to meet the growing and diverse needs of our communities.
