17 Jan UTC congratulates Olivia Trusty on her nomination to serve as commissioner at the FCC
The Utilities Technology Council (UTC) congratulates Olivia Trusty on her nomination to serve as commissioner at the Federal Communications Commission, and it supports her confirmation. Rusty Williams, President & CEO of UTC stated that “UTC looks forward to working with Ms. Trusty to protect and promote the public interest in utility critical infrastructure communications systems that ensure the safe, efficient, reliable and secure delivery of essential electric, gas, and water services. We also look forward to working with Ms. Trusty to support opportunities to promote access to robust, reliable, and affordable broadband services to all Americans.” UTC’s utility members own, operate, and maintain extensive private internal wireline and wireless systems that they use to communicate with their personnel and remotely monitor and control their critical infrastructure and operations. UTC’s utility members also promote broadband access by offering broadband services in otherwise unserved and underserved areas and by deploying broadband infrastructure and providing pole attachments for use by third-party broadband service providers.
