Carr to Examine Broadband Deployment in Southern Nevada

Commissioner Brendan Carr will visit southern Nevada Monday to assess the “impact that high-speed broadband can have on small businesses, healthcare, education, and economic development in these rural communities,” the FCC said in a Friday news release. Carr plans to visit Beatty, Amargosa Valley, Pahrump and Mountain Springs in rural parts of Nye and Clark counties. Chairman Ajit Pai last year assigned Carr the task of leading work on wireless infrastructure rules. Carr will be in Las Vegas next week for the NAB Show.
