“I’m growing increasingly concerned that NTIA and RUS increasingly want to build networks that compete against existing ones. Building networks to underserved Americans would have created jobs.”

This legislation takes a step towards ensuring the Commission has the adequate resources, which is essential in guaranteeing our nation’s technical leadership remains on the cutting edge.”
Maine Republican U.S. Senator Olympia Snowe at this week’s unveiling of legislation authorizing a $1 million appropriation to the National Academy of Sciences to conduct a study examining the technical policymaking processes and availability of technical employees at the FCC.
