Bureau Chief
The Wireline Competition Bureau is the FCC’s home for policies and programs focused on closing the digital divide. Dedicated staff are committed to making available to everyone an internet that is fast, open, and fair. Through our funding programs, we support carriers to help provide reliable access to affordable broadband and voice services for rural and urban households, schools and libraries, and rural health care providers. Implementing Congressional initiatives, we establish rules to protect consumers, prevent digital discrimination of access, and protect our national security.
