Congressional Subcommittee to Review Telecom Act of 1996
The House Committee on Energy and Commerce and the Subcommittee on Communications and Technology announce that next Thursday (3/26) the subcommittee will hold a hearing titled, The Telecommunications Act of 1996: 30 Years Later. Chairmen Congressman Brett Guthrie (KY-02) and Congressman Richard Hudson (NC-09) say in a statement, “The communications marketplace has transformed dramatically in the 30 years since the Telecommunications Act of 1996 was signed into law. This hearing will examine what parts of the law have worked, what have not, and how Congress can build on those lessons to modernize our laws to promote innovation, strengthen competition, and drive investment in modern communications networks.”
