Had my last meeting as the first Chairwoman of the Federal Communications Commission today. Made me think of this photograph of telephone operators. It was what women used to be able to do in communications technology. We have come a long way, but it is so important that the first is not the last.

Thank you to NASA and especially Administrator Bill Nelson. He’s been a great colleague, a supporter of my efforts at the FCC to build the first-ever Space Bureau, and a terrific long-time public servant.
At the FCC we launched the first-ever Space Bureau, rethinking and reimagining how we approach space communications. Got to talk about that yesterday with satellite folks and U.S. Space Command. Ad astra! www.fcc.gov/document/cha...
