Chairman Pai was happy to see telecom companies react to his earlier, critical statement and contribute resources to local relief efforts. "I was very happy to see that there has been some progress in response to the statement I put out earlier this week," he said. "I was very pleased to hear that some of the carriers are waving some of those bills. Others are waving charges."
