Spent the morning exploring the Great American State Fair with the @FCC team on the final day in Washington, D.C. It was a pleasure visiting so many state booths and seeing firsthand the ingenuity, entrepreneurship, and creativity on display from across the country. Fittingly,

Chairman @BrendanCarrFCC on @CNBC this morning: “We're voting… to open up a huge swath of spectrum in the C-band—create effectively a mid-band “Super Band” of spectrum. And that's gonna be used to drive down prices for consumers… to increase competition.”

After I sent a letter to @FCC sounding the alarm about radio stations taking advantage of artists, @BrendanCarrFCC took decisive action to defend them. Today’s agreement between the FCC and @iHeartRadio will ensure the creative community is protected from exploitation.
