Washington – The Computer & Communications Industry Association issued the following statement commending the House Energy and Commerce Committee, along with Chairman Brett Guthrie, Ranking Member Frank Pallone, Communications and Technology Subcommittee Chairman Richard Hudson, and Subcommittee Ranking Member Doris Matsui, for advancing the House version of the Satellite and Telecommunications (SAT) Streamlining Act (H.R. 8255) through subcommittee markup.
The following can be attributed to CCIA Vice President for U.S. Policy Brian McMillan:
“Modernizing the FCC’s satellite licensing framework is critical to keeping pace with rapid innovation and maintaining U.S. leadership in space technology. The SAT Streamlining Act delivers a targeted approach to updating regulatory workflows, establishing predictable review timelines, and removing unnecessary bureaucratic hurdles for operators.”
