Congressman Peter Welch will join leaders of Vermont’s community media movement on Monday, April 8th for a round table discussion of federal threats to public, educational, and government (PEG) access, local franchising authority and open networks. 

More than a dozen Vermont access leaders will gather at 10 a.m. at Channel 17/ Town Meeting TV Studios at 294 North Winooski Avenue in Burlington. Congressman Welch will meet with us between 10:15 - 11:15 a.m. The roundtable conversation will be recorded live-streamed.

This, from Lincoln Peek, Rep. Welch’s Communications DIrector: Peter knows that many Vermonters watch public access all around the state, and I know that he will also be eager to discuss net neutrality issues, as there is a net neutrality bill that he cosponsored and helped advance through the Energy and Commerce committee that will be on the floor for final House passage next week.
