The House Communications & Internet Subcommittee will hold its "first" hearing on the national broadband plan March 25. All five Federal Communications Commission commissioners have been invited.
That's according to House Energy & Commerce Committee chairman Henry Waxman (D-Calif.), who broke the news in a statement generally praising the FCC's effort to come up with a comprehensive and "forward-looking" report.
The FCC is gearing up for a 10-year plan for ubiquitous high-speed broadband.
The commission is scheduled to officially unveil the plan Tuesday, but reaction began pouring in as details of the plan were reported in various venues and an embargo on other details was lifted.
For its part, the Senate Commerce Committee, according to a source, is looking at March 23 as a possible date for its broadband plan hearing.
