App Association Backs Cable LFA FNPRM

"To encourage more broadband deployment," ACT | The App Association members back a Further NPRM to bar local franchise authorities from "duplicative and disproportionate demands in return for" ISPs building broadband facilities, the group told Commissioners Brendan Carr and Mike O’Rielly and aides to the other FCC members. The association itself also holds that position, a spokesperson emailed. The "FNPRM prevents unlawful taxation of broadband deployment," the association reported executives such as NeuEon Chief Technology Officer Scott Weiner; Hacksmith Labs co-founder Thomas Gorczynski; BadVR co-founder Jad Meouchy; Canned Spinach Partner Andrew Savitz; and Communication Circles founder Betsy Furler saying. Not all executives attended all meetings. The association and members "asked the FCC to continue on its current trajectory to ensure that states and localities facilitate 5G deployment without undue delay." The disclosures posted Friday in dockets including 05-311: here, here, here, here and here. The group also asked the agency to continue work to make more spectrum available for unlicensed use (see 1905030050).
