I have ended the FCC’s consideration of a Biden-era proposal that would have delayed new infrastructure builds. The Biden plan would have expanded the reach of costly and needless environmental reviews. It is time to build and unleash America’s construction crews.

You know what transparency would make a real difference? Letting consumers see how much each local broadcast station represents of their cable bill and how many other stations the content owners make MVPDs carry to carry the “good” ones. nexttv.com/news/fcc-proposes…

Americans rightfully expect that 911 fees on their phone bills will fund 911-related services. But yet again, @FCC has found that several states have siphoned 911 funding for other purposes. This is outrageous & undermines public safety. Credit to @mikeofcc for his work on this!
