WCAI Congratulates Blair Levin on Rejoining FCC

FCC Acting Chairman Michael Copps announced today that Blair Levin will rejoin the Commission to help coordinate its development of a national broadband plan. I can’t think of anyone who would be better suited to lead the development of the national broadband plan than Blair Levin. His vast experience both in the industry and at the FCC will be a valuable asset as the Commission is taking on such a critical task. A strong advocate for bringing broadband services to all Americans, Mr. Levin understands the importance of wireless platforms in achieving universal broadband connectivity. On behalf of the wireless broadband industry, I want to congratulate Mr. Levin on rejoining the FCC and look forward to working with him.

WCAI Congratulates Michael Copps on Nomination as Interim FCC Chair

President Barack Obama today nominated Michael Copps to be the acting Chairman of the FCC.

I had the privilege of working with Commissioner Copps for a number of years, while at the FCC. His nomination is a well-deserved recognition of dedication and an outstanding record of public service. A strong advocate for achieving universal broadband access in the United States, Commissioner Copps is a long-time friend of the WCAI and of the wireless broadband industry.

We at WCAI congratulate Commissioner Copps on his nomination and look forward to continuing to work with him and the FCC to accelerate wireless broadband deployment.
