Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Ajit Pai and Congressman Gus Bilirakis (R-FL), recently visited Nielsen’s Global Technology & Innovation Center (GTIC) in Oldsmar, Fla. Chairman Pai’s visit was part of a larger Gulf Coast digital opportunity tour, where he spoke with community members and business leaders to help bridge the digital divide. The GTIC is an incredibly important location for our company, particularly for our operations—it’s our largest office in the world, with more than 2,500 Nielsen associates from engineering, technology, operations, data science and many other teams.
访问期间，帕伊主席与比莱基斯众议员举行了圆桌讨论会，讨论了为全美提供高速宽带接入的好处和紧迫性。两位领导人谈到了更多的互联网接入及其带来的机会如何有助于在全美各社区创造经济机会。
"我很高兴能来到佛罗里达州，并有机会与国会议员古斯-比莱拉基斯（Gus Bilirakis）一起参加与当地商界领袖以及广播和公共安全界人士的讨论。我们就 5G、互联网监管、应对抢单、振兴调幅广播和职业许可等问题进行了广泛交流。我期待着继续推进这些重要问题的解决。
尼尔森的员工参加了此次圆桌会议，并有机会提出问题，共同参与讨论。此次讨论对我们的GTIC员工具有特别重要的意义，他们负责衡量消费者日益向数字内容消费迁移的趋势，并将这一信息传达给我们的客户。
"联邦通信委员会主席阿吉特-派（Ajit Pai）和当地商界及公共安全社区的成员一起在尼尔森全球技术与创新中心讨论电信和基础设施问题，我深感荣幸。毫无疑问，第一个有效利用 5G 能力和其他新兴技术潜力的国家将从就业、资金和企业的流入中获益，"Bilirakis 众议员说。"这是一个激动人心的时刻。技术发展日新月异，我们要确保我们的政策与时俱进。我们富有成效的对话向前迈出了一大步，确保我们当地社区的声音和需求在全国对话中得到反映。
Chairman Pai and Rep. Bilirakis’ visit is a part of our ongoing efforts to build relationships with leaders whose decisions have considerable impact on Nielsen’s business and our everyday lives. These engagements give us the opportunity to share diverse consumer insights that inform officials’ decisions, as well as to understand the direction of public policy, which allow us to make the best decisions for our clients.
“Our cultivation of relationships with stakeholders in Washington, D.C., is absolutely vital to our ability to craft our strategy and advocate for our business,” said Joby Fortson, SVP, Government Relations and Public Policy, Nielsen. “Frequently, our conversations with policymakers in Washington result in changes that greatly influence our business. With this visit, we were able to bring our associates into the room and connect them with key decision makers to find synergies between their everyday jobs and the work we do as a Government Affairs team.”
我们的社区参与团队欢迎派伊（Pai）主席和比拉基斯（Bilirakis）众议员访问 GTIC。该团队与佛罗里达州坦帕地区的社区、国会和商界领袖建立关系，是我们类似此次访问的联络点。该团队还努力使 GTIC 成为坦帕地区非营利组织的资源库。事实上，GTIC 在 2017 年主办了 30 场非营利性活动。
