INCOMPAS Leads Call for Swift Confirmation of FCC Nominees

INCOMPAS led a letter from a number of trade associations representing a broad cross-section of the innovation economy to Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-WA), Chairwoman of the Senate Commerce Committee and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), Ranking Member of the Senate Commerce Committee. The letter urged them to move expeditiously to confirm President Biden’s renomination of Commissioners Brendan Carr and Geoffrey Starks and the nomination of Anna Gomez to the FCC.


“A fully functioning FCC is imperative to advance our goals of bridging the digital divide and connecting every American to affordable, high-speed broadband,” said INCOMPAS CEO Chip Pickering. “Given the upcoming expiration of the sitting Commissioners’ terms, and the importance of filling the fifth Commissioner slot that has remained vacant for far too long, we encourage the Committee to hold a joint hearing for the three nominees as quickly as possible and to advance their nominations.”

INCOMPAS Commends National Broadband Map Improvements

The FCC released its updated and improved National Broadband Map, which will be used to determine the NTIA's allocations for the Broadband Equity, Access and Deployment (BEAD) Program.


“Vast resources are allocated to bringing broadband to every corner of the country and connecting Americans everywhere. It is critical that the maps directing this process are as accurate as possible to ensure we meet the needs of the country and build new networks to unserved and underserved areas,” said INCOMPAS CEO Chip Pickering.


“INCOMPAS is pleased to see the latest version of the FCC’s National Broadband Map, and the improvements that have been made since its original release in November,” Pickering noted. “The revised maps will be essential in assisting NTIA in determining state allocations for the BEAD Program. We look forward to continuing to work with the FCC, NTIA, state and local broadband offices, and all our members to ensure that the map continues to improve and reflect the locations where high-speed broadband networks are deployed to unserved and underserved locations. We are experiencing a truly transformative moment for our industry and our country and must keep the momentum going to bridge the digital divide.”
