NTCA's Shirley Bloomfield talks with FCC Commissioners on RDOF

On January 22, 2020, Shirley Bloomfield talked with Commissioner Michael O'Rielly, Commissioner Brendan Carr and Matthew Berry, Chief of Staff to Chairman Ajit Pai regarding the Rural Digital Opportunity Fund. NTCA expressed strong support for the draft RDOF order but mentioned our concerns regarding the inclusion of a new 50/5 Mbps speed tier that would result in two separate levels of performance below that experience by the average urban consumer.
