U.S. Cellular showered praise on a recent congressional letter to the FCC about revamping the Mobility Fund. Reps. Bob Latta, R-Ohio, and Peter Welch, D-Vt., co-chairmen of the Rural Telecom Working Group, sent the letter earlier this week (see 1410150098). The lawmakers “clearly recognize that high quality mobile service is essential to all Americans,” said Vice President-Federal Affairs and Public Policy Grant Spellmeyer in a statement. “They have highlighted the important decisions facing the Commission as it prepares to act on rules to set the future course of this vital program.”
