FURCHTGOTT-ROTH REACTS TO NESS ANNOUNCEMENT

Susan Ness has had a long and distinguished career as a Commissioner at the Federal Communications Commission. She will be greatly missed. Commissioner Ness brings tremendous energy and enthusiasm to all issues before the Commission, and she has developed substantial expertise in issues ranging from digital television to international satellites to telecommunications services for schools and libraries. Her keen intellect and dedication to public service have been great assets to the Commission and the Nation. I am sure that I join everyone at the FCC in thanking Commissioner Ness for a job well done and in wishing her all the best in her future endeavors.
