NCTA Statement Regarding Tentative Agenda for April 7 FCC Meeting

“We commend Chairman Genachowski for moving forward on the important issue of wireless data roaming.  As new entrants look to expand consumer choice for wireless Internet access service using licensed spectrum, enforceable roaming rights enable competitors to offer a nationwide service and compete with incumbent providers.

“We also support the Chairman’s efforts to establish appropriate and more uniform pole attachment rates that will provide much-needed regulatory certainty and will encourage providers to extend broadband networks to unserved communities.”
