    In a statement issued Tuesday, Markey and Doyle said they were
    encouraged by Wheeler's response. "I welcome Chairman Wheeler's
    response and his continuing interest in municipal broadband, and I
    strongly encourage him and the FCC to take quick and decisive action
    to lift restrictions that limit or prevent communities from addressing
    their own broadband needs," said Doyle.
