FCC COMMISSIONER AJIT PAI TO HOLD FORUM ON INTERNET REGULATION AT
TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY’S BUSH SCHOOL OF GOVERNMENT AND PUBLIC SERVICE
On October 21, FCC Commissioner Ajit Pai will lead a forum on Internet regulation in College 
Station, Texas.  The event will be hosted by Texas A&M University’s Bush School of Government and 
Public Service and will focus on the Federal Communications Commission’s Open Internet proceeding.
“The FCC needs to go beyond the Beltway,” Commissioner Pai said.  “We need to listen to 
members of the American public who would be impacted by the Commission’s proposed rules.”
The field hearing will begin at 10:00 AM in the Hagler Auditorium of the Annenberg Presidential 
Conference Center, which is adjacent to the Bush School of Government and Public Service.
Commissioner Pai added, “I am honored that the Bush School will host this forum.  From his 
days as a Navy pilot during World War II to his time in the White House, President George H.W. Bush 
exemplified what the Bush School seeks to cultivate: professionalism and principle in public service.  I 
can think of no better place to have a substantive discussion about one of the most important public policy 
issues facing our country.”
Additional information about the event, including a list of panelists, will be provided in coming 
days.
