The FCC had a surprisingly full agenda at its October open meeting and has already made plans for the next one, despite the government shutdown.
FCC Chair Brendan Carr called for an end to the government shutdown while providing updates on the agency's ongoing work.
The agency would hold another meeting on Thursday, Nov. 20, for votes on items and issues that the agency had been working on prior to the shutdown.
Carr did not specify what items the commission might consider in November or December, as those agendas are typically announced about three weeks prior to the open meeting.
In remarks to reporters, Carr complained about the shutdown, referring to it as
“the Schumer shutdown”.
