Senators Question Starks On Collegiality, 5G, USF

摘要

Members of the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee sought assurances from Democratic FCC nominee Geoffrey Starks during a June 20 confirmation hearing regarding issues ranging from his willingness to work cooperatively with the Commission's Republican majority, other agencies, and Congress to his commitment to promote 5G deployment, support net neutrality, and back E-rate and other universal service programs. Mr. Starks, who would fill the vacancy left by the recent departure of Commissioner Mignon L. Clyburn, is currently an assistant chief in the FCC's Enforcement Bureau, where he works with the Investigations and Hearings Division and the USF Strike Force. He joined the agency in 2015.
