Statement of Michael Powell, President & CEO, NCTA – The Internet & Television Association, on FCC Commissioner Mignon Clyburn Stepping Down

“The American public owes a debt of gratitude to Mignon Clyburn for her eight years of service at the FCC where she forcefully championed the public interest and often served as a voice for under-privileged communities. Commissioner Clyburn has been a strong advocate of the power of technology to close the digital divide and ensure that every American has the opportunity to participate in the digital economy. I would like to personally thank Commissioner Clyburn for her dedication to public service, passion for fighting for the underdog and friendship that we have forged over the years. We wish her all the best in her next chapter.”
