Washington, D.C. — SPLEX One celebrates the participation of our CEO and Co-Founder, Freddy Arias Jr., in the Congressional Public Policy Briefing on Media and Telecommunications, hosted by the Congressional Hispanic Leadership Institute (CHLI) at the Longworth House Office Building on Capitol Hill.
Arias, who also plays a strategic leadership role at Comercio TV, joined a panel discussion exploring the impact of Latino-led media in today’s rapidly evolving communications landscape. The panel featured Burke Berendes (2042 Media), Michael Fernandez (V-Me Media), and was moderated by Iris Gonzalez of Links-G Consulting.
Throughout the event, policymakers including Congressman Tony Gonzales (TX-23), Congressman Darren Soto (FL-09), and Congresswoman Erin Houchin (IN-09) offered remarks on broadband equity, wireless infrastructure, and access to media capital for underserved communities.
Executives from Comcast NBCUniversal, Charter Communications, Dell Technologies, and other major companies also spoke on telecommunications as a catalyst for economic development and cultural representation.
Representing one of the few independent, Latino-owned media groups with national distribution, Arias emphasized the importance of measurable partnerships between industry, government, and community media outlets.
Arias emphasized that independent Latino media is not just a voice, but a vital engine for access, education, and economic opportunity, and called for equitable representation in national media and telecom decisions.
This appearance builds on SPLEX One’s commitment to equitable media, strategic storytelling, and partnerships that elevate diverse communities. It also reinforces our growing presence across content, distribution, and advocacy, with media brands like Comercio TV helping to drive cultural relevance and scale.
