FCC Launches New Broadband Plan BlogBlair Levin leads 'assault of sustained thinking...'
02:09PM Tuesday Aug 18 2009 by Karl Bodetags: legal · fcc · coverage · business · PoliticsThe government continues to promise they'll make the development of our national broadband plan a transparent process, though as
we noted last week there are some problems that need addressing. While it won't solve any of them, this week the FCC
launched a new blog that will discuss their progress during the remaining 183 days of the plan's development. The blog so far has just two posts; one each by FCC boss Julius Genachowski and broadband plan director Blair Levin. According to Levin, the agency is "leading an assault of sustained thinking by the entire FCC on the stubborn problem of bringing broadband to unserved and underserved areas." While the ratio of platitudes to actual plan specifics remains heavily lopsided, hopefully that changes in coming months.
Update: The FCC also
popped up on Twitter today for the first time.
