Remarks of FCC Commissioner Clyburn at NTCA's Telecom Executive Policy Summit

I am honored to be a part of the National Telecommunications Cooperative Association’s Telecom Executive Policy Summit and wish to use the time you have generously allotted, to touch on a few topics I know are important to you and your members. First and foremost, rate-of-return reform: where we started from, and where we are going. Second, rural call completion. Third, enabling technology transitions, as we continue to move from a TDM to an IP world. And, I’ll finish with an issue that is both close to my heart and to yours—the interplay between Lifeline and the high-cost programs.
