Steve Scalise (R-La.), considered to be a voice for communications policy reform on Capitol Hill, has been added to the speaker roster for the American Cable Association’s (ACA) 20th Washington Summit, set for March 12-14 at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Washington, D.C.

John Barrow (D-Ga.) and FCC Commissioner Ajit Pai; the commissioner will go head-to-head with ACA’s Matt Polka on March 13.
