Wheeler, Other FCC Commissioners Laud Senate Commerce's Rosenworcel Vote

FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler and other commissioners joined Commissioner Mike O’Rielly and industry interests in lauding the Senate Commerce Committee for approving Commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel’s renomination Wednesday (see 1512090059). “Jessica’s commitment to public service, commitment to tackling important issues and focus on improving Americans’ lives through better access to technology have been assets to the Commission,” Wheeler said. Commissioner Mignon Clyburn called Rosenworcel “a tireless advocate for E-rate and smart spectrum management policies for both unlicensed and licensed spectrum.” Commissioner Ajit Pai is “pleased” and “enjoyed working with her on a wide range of important issues over the last three-and-a-half years,” he said. Consumer Technology Association President Gary Shapiro dubbed her “a champion for our digital future, leading the way on issues that impact consumers' and innovators' access to modern communications networks, advance the nation's economy and promote technological innovation.”
