The following statement is attributed to Gary Shapiro, president and CEO, Consumer Electronics Association (CEA)®, regarding President Obama’s renomination of Jessica Rosenworcel as a commissioner to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC):
“We applaud President Obama for renominating Commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel to the FCC and urge the Senate to move quickly toward confirmation. Commissioner Rosenworcel is a technophile who seeks out and understands our nation’s innovators and the needs of first responders. She also recognizes the importance of securing additional licensed and unlicensed spectrum to fuel our ever-growing demand for anytime/anywhere connectivity. We commend Commissioner Rosenworcel for her thoughtful leadership on tech issues and look forward to working with her during her next term on the FCC.”
