It was my and @EvanS_FCC’s honor to lose narrowly—a nail-bitingly close 21-4 contest—in the Chairman’s Cornhole Cup today as part of our effort to encourage @FCC employees to participate in @CFC campaign. Congrats to the champs! I’m already working out for the rematch. pic.twitter.com/uNhT4ZUdwE

Research
➢ Nearly 2/3 of consumers surveyed claimed “basic familiarity” or that they were “very familiar” with 5G, but of those respondents, nearly 1/5 mistakenly already thought they had 5G.
➢ 1/4 of US consumers listed 5G as an important feature, but one in five didn’t yet see a need for 5G, or wanted to wait until the benefits of 5G were proven before investing in devices built for the technology.
➢ When asked which brand they would buy for 5G, consumers rank Samsung and Apple as the most preferred.

Quotable
“If both the Copyright and Communications Act provisions of the STELA Reauthorization Act expire, broadcast station owners would likely have greater advantage in negotiating with cable, telco and satellite operators than they do currently. … If Congress does not renew the FCC’s mediation role and retransmission consent disputes were to become more frequent, cable, telco, and satellite subscribers could experience more interruptions of broadcast television programming.”
