FCC Broad Band Rule-What's Next?*

At this month's Washington Live! Brown Bag Telehealth Seminar, the Center
for Telehealth and e-Health Law (CTeL) will welcome Jeffrey Mitchell, an
attorney with the communications law and engineering firm of Lukas, Nace,
Gutierrez & Sachs. At this month’s Brown Bag, Mr. Mitchell will provide a
brief overview of the initial round of public comments filed in the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) rural health care proceeding, which is
currently underway.  The FCC sought public comment on significant proposed
changes to the 12-year old Rural Health Care Program that currently funds
discounts on the telecommunications and internet costs of rural health care
providers.  The proposed program changes seek to implement recommendations
contained in the FCC’s National Broadband Plan and apply lessons learned
from the FCC’s Rural Health Care pilot program that provided funding for
regional statewide health care networks.  Initial comments were due
September 8 with reply comments due September 23.  Ample time will be
available for questions and discussion.

Bio
Jeffrey A. Mitchell specializes in federal and state universal service
issues with a focus on compliance and rural broadband investment.  While an
attorney at the Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC) from
2003-2010, Mr. Mitchell handled universal service contributions matters
including appeals, audits, FCC enforcement referrals, contributor
delinquencies and bankruptcy.  Mr. Mitchell was the first director of
beneficiary compliance audits at USAC and directed the broadband
infrastructure investment program known as the Rural Health Care Pilot
Program.  Mr. Mitchell received his J.D. degree from the Georgetown
University in 1997 and received his undergraduate degree from the University
of Washington in Seattle in 1993.
