• Senate: Confirm Gigi Sohn to the FCC [telecom]

    From Telecom Digest Moderator@21:1/5 to All on Tue Jan 11 20:00:02 2022
    Our union siblings in the Communication Workers of America have been
    fighting for broadband for all built right by union workers, and are
    urging the Senate to swiftly advance the nomination of Gigi Sohn for Commissioner of the FCC.

    The FCC normally has five commissioners, but there is currently a
    vacant seat, and without a full commission, it will be difficult to
    move forward on making sure that all Americans have the services they
    need. Throughout her career, Sohn has been a staunch advocate for the
    expansion of affordable internet access. During the T-Mobile/Sprint
    merger, she was a key CWA ally in the fight to protect jobs, and she
    knows that to build broadband better we need effective state
    oversight. Sohn will continue to fight for workers and consumers as Commissioner of the FCC.
