The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) appointed GeoLinks co-founder and CEO, Skyler Ditchfield, to serve on its Technological Advisory Council (TAC). Organized under the authority of the Federal Advisory Committee Act, this group provides technical advice to the FCC, identifying important areas of innovation while developing informed technology policies that support U.S. competitiveness and job creation in the global economy.
Ditchfield previously served with the FCC’s Broadband Deployment Advisory Committee. In this new role, he is expected to influence positive advancements within telecommunications.
“The FCC must remain informed of new developments in technology to continue to effectively fulfill its mission,” said FCC chair, Jessica Rosenworcel, noting that Ditchfield’s experience “will enable the FCC to keep abreast of important developments in the telecommunications industry.”
“I am honored to serve alongside an esteemed lineup of industry leaders,” added Ditchfield. “One of GeoLinks’ founding missions is to close the digital divide. I look forward to addressing the technical challenges and opportunities that lie ahead to make this a reality.”
The TAC will meet on March 19, 2024. Access the FCC’s Public Notice online by clicking here.
