The future belongs to the connected. Former Chairwoman of the FCC. Always an impatient optimist. Mom, wife, inveterate coffee drinker.

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.

The FCC helped get 988, the three-digit Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, up and running. Today we improved it by making sure wireless calls are routed based on nearby cell towers instead of area codes. Means more help is local. Got to champion this change with Secretary Becerra and Congressman Cardenas.
