Two More Congress Members Issue Letters to FCC

March 4, 2019

This last week, two more members of Congress issued letters to the FCC expressing disapproval and concern about the Commission's proposed "in-kind" rules.  Rep. Anna Eshoo of California and Rep. Richard Neal of Massachusetts wrote letters to Chairman Ajit Pai to put pressure on the FCC not to harm local communities and PEG Access channels.

Thanks to ACM members for reaching out to their representatives on this vital issue.  So far, 13 US Senators and 12 Representatives have written the FCC.
