There is always lots of info, smartly written and presented nicely, into each Policyband edition by @TedatPolicyband.

Even as a double @DukeU grad, I have no (well, not much!) trouble applauding these @UNC efforts, or even @UNC gymnastics. I'll go along with SI @OliviaTrustyFCC on this one.
Great to be back at my alma mater @UNC and hear about their exciting efforts to develop our super intelligence workforce and technology future. From preparing the next generation for SI leadership to work on cutting edge SI applications, UNC is helping ensure U.S. technology leadership.
Also great to connect with @uncgymnastics and see it putting Ultra Wideband technology to use in their training. The program is going as strong as ever!
Wireless taxes are way too high and suppress consumer demand, especially for lower-income persons. @gkathysanchez @TaxFoundation @FCC

Hello October! ICYMI, catch up now with the last video with @MPORielly and @Comm_Daily reporters @MontyTayloe & @mdaneman. And lots of pubs!

Very interesting episode with @MPORielly and two long-time @Comm_Daily reporters. How the story gets made! BTW, I think @Comm_Daily has been publishing for close to a half century now. Quite an achievement!
TMT with Mike O'Rielly is out with Episode 45, exploring what goes into a @Comm_Daily story by hearing from Monty Tayloe and Matt Daneman. A really interesting behind-the-scenes look. Take a watch! @FSFthinktank

We were pleased to be able to publish this important @FSFthinktank Perspectives on such an important and timely topic.
Thanks to @FSFthinktank for publishing my piece on re-evaluating the @FCC's E-Rate program.
E-Rate spends billions annually without ever testing whether the program improves student learning. Impt now with screen time linked to falling test scores, and rise of AI.
(Link below).

.@AjitPai, President and CEO, and proud parent of two, shares in new op-ed why if we teach our kids “that technology is something to use thoughtfully, we’ll prepare them for far more than a successful school year. We’ll prepare them for adulthood.” More in @WashTimesOpEd: bit.ly/4cjfASv.

The @FCC's proposed reforms to its #NEPA rules will spur #broadband deployment and #infrastructure investment. An important part of @BrendanCarrFCC's @FCC's #BuildAmericaAgenda!

Thanks to @WashTimesOpEd for publishing my #ConstitutionDay essay. Constitution Day has heightened significance during America’s 250th birthday celebration.
“Not for the first time in our history, Americans are deeply divided along many fault lines, and political passions run high. Conciliation and compromise are increasingly out of fashion, if not out of mind,” Randolph May of @FSFthinktank writes.
Good report by Christopher Cole @Law360 that highlights the importance of the Government Spectrum Relocation Fund to repurposing gov't #spectrum for private sector use. @NTIAgov's @ArielleRoth & @FCC's @BrendanCarrFCC are working hard on this.

Today is #ConstitutionDay. A perfect time for enjoying this important essay by @CooperFSF on the #DeclarationofIndependence, the #Constitution, and #Copyright.

To be sure, @CTIA is absolutely right about this, and @FSFthinktank has made the same point many times. The @FCC should grant AT&T's preemption petition promptly.
CTIA: "Keeping copper lines in place and functioning is taking up a wildly disproportionate amount of resources to allow the few remaining customers to stay on these
lines. Now that wireless technology offers clear and obvious benefits over legacy copper networks, it
makes sense to allow AT&T to sunset this old technology and rapidly free up resources to invest in
making even better modern services, like wireless."
