Had my last meeting as the first Chairwoman of the Federal Communications Commission today. Made me think of this photograph of telephone operators. It was what women used to be able to do in communications technology. We have come a long way, but it is so important that the first is not the last.

As they work through the fires, Los Angeles broadcasters are providing a powerful lesson in why local news matters—for all of us.

FCC Paves Way for Multilingual Wireless Emergency Alerts

When you get an emergency notification on your phone it should be in a format you understand. The FCC just made it possible to get these warnings in more than a dozen languages—and American Sign Language. It’s going to help more people in more places stay safe.

FCC’s Net Neutrality Rules Struck Down by Federal Appeals Court After nearly two decades of fighting, the battle over regulations that treat broadband providers like utilities came to an end on Thursday.

Consumers across the country have told us again and again they want an internet that is fast, open and fair. With this decision it is clear Congress now needs to heed their call, take up the charge for net neutrality and put open internet principles in federal law.

Sometimes cleaning out the office yields unexpected gems, like the artwork my kids stuffed into an unassuming file years ago.

Winter Solstice. From here on out, every day a little lighter, a little brighter.

Thank you to NASA and especially Administrator Bill Nelson. He’s been a great colleague, a supporter of my efforts at the FCC to build the first-ever Space Bureau, and a terrific long-time public servant.

At the FCC we launched the first-ever Space Bureau, rethinking and reimagining how we approach space communications. Got to talk about that yesterday with satellite folks and U.S. Space Command. Ad astra!

‘The FCC has no business threatening to take away broadcast licenses’ Outgoing FCC Chair Jessica Rosenworcel says the agency should not make decisions based on the "grievances of the president."

The FCC should make decisions about communications based on the record, based on the facts, and based on the law, and not based on the whims coming out of the White House or the grievances of the President.

US agency to launch review of undersea cables, national security risks The Federal Communications Commission said on Wednesday it will vote next month to review its oversight of the global network of undersea communications cables that handle nearly all the world's internet traffic and national security issues.

You’ve probably never thought about submarine cables. They’re buried in the deep, dark depths of the ocean. But they carry internet traffic worldwide and trillions of dollars of economic activity every day. They deserve our attention—and security.
