Groups Seek More Time on Inmate Calling NPRM Reply Comments

A coalition of advocacy organizations asked the FCC to extend until July 12 the deadline for reply comments on implementing the Martha Wright-Reed Just and Reasonable Communications Act. Replies are now due by June 6 (see 2304060063). The Wright Petitioners, Benton Institute for Broadband & Society, Public Knowledge, United Church of Christ Media Justice Ministry and Worth Rises said in a motion posted Wednesday in docket 23-62 that the extension will "allow the commission to expeditiously move forward to collect new data in the 2023 mandatory data collection."
