@AmericanAir four and half hour delay and counting at DFW. Third flight in a month where flight is hideously delayed by 4 hours or more. This airline has fallen to the bottom. Will avoid it now at all costs.

Thank you to the 12 Republican Senators who voted yes this week on the #RespectforMarriageAct, federal legislation that will protect the freedom to marry, a freedom supported by a majority of conservatives nationwide. I support this bill and hope to see it become law.

It was a profound honor to meet her in my life. God save the Queen.

Great news from GCI today that much of Alaska will have 2 Gigs in 2022 and 10G in five years! Congratulations to Ron Duncan and team on this exceptional milestone. https://t.co/cFD3B5BNJY

[Amy Maclean @MACcable]

GCI says it is bringing 2 Gig service to nearly three quarters of Alaskans early next year.

We agree with the White House that every American should be connected to broadband but the funding must be properly targeted so that networks are built where they doesn't exist and low-income families get help to adopt and afford internet service.

[Michael Powell @chairmanpowell]

Congress is going big on broadband funding, which is welcome, but guardrails are needed to ensure we don't squander billions and fail to close actual gaps.

New column with Stefanie Sanford of @CollegeBoard: "The things we’ve always taught students about government—how it works, how they can shape and influence it, how it guards against our own weaknesses—need to find their parallels in technology education."

@mmtconline @FCC @MignonClyburn @GeoffreyStarks I am grateful to @mmtconline for this recognition. MMTC has always been the conscience of the telecom industry around diversity. Thank you.

Congratulations @JRosenworcel and well deserved. The cable industry and @NCTAitv stand ready to work with you and the entire Commission to help America stay productive during the pandemic and begin the road to recovery.

[Michael Powell @chairmanpowell]

Dane has been an exceptional force at NCTA. He's a consummate professional but what we will miss most is his joyful spirt and his caring friendship. While we regret his departure, we are excited for @kdanesnowden as he embarks on a new challenge.

[Michael Powell @chairmanpowell]

@MPORielly @HudsonInstitute Congrats, Mike

[Michael Powell @chairmanpowell]

This is a sad and deeply disturbing moment for our nation. The storming of the Capitol is something I could not imagine in my wildest imagination. Nothing is more important to our country than a working democracy and what we are witnessing today is a bleak moment in our history.

[Michael Powell @chairmanpowell]

Congratulations @cathymcmorris for being elected Ranking Member of the House Energy & Commerce Committee, the first woman to be elected as Chair or Ranking Member in the committee’s history.
