Statement of Michael Powell, President & CEO, NCTA – The Internet & Television Association Regarding Senate Confirmation of Nathan Simington as FCC Commissioner

“We congratulate Nathan Simington on his confirmation to the FCC. Mr. Simington joins the FCC at a time when our national commitment to connect every American to broadband is more vital than ever. We look forward to working with him and his colleagues to find creative solutions that will promote private sector investment and innovation rather than returning to obsolete regulatory models of the past that would only stifle broadband deployment.”
