Statement of NCTA Regarding Markup of the DOTCOM Act

“We applaud the efforts of Rep. Shimkus, Ranking Member Pallone and the entire House Communications and Technology Subcommittee to reach bipartisan consensus on the DOTCOM Act (HR 805). This legislation provides important protections and appropriate Congressional oversight to ensure that transition of the oversight of IANA to the multi-stakeholder model is managed responsibly. The Internet is one of the most important technologies in today’s global economy and the cable industry stands ready to assist Congress, the Administration and all stakeholders in ensuring that the IANA transition is a success."
