The FCC continues to play an important role in expanding access to new technologies and making communication services more affordable for all Americans,” <strong>said Congressman Joyce in his opening remarks. </strong>“I’ve been encouraged by Chairman Carr’s efforts to identify and remove unnecessary regulations that inhibit innovation and economic growth.
