FCC LAUNCHES BLOGBAND :: SITE EXPLAINED :: GEEK PEAK

FCC EXPLAINS RELATIONSHIP OF BLOGBAND TO THE RECORD IN THE NATIONAL BROADBAND PLAN PROCEEDING
GN Docket No. 09-51
To foster dialogue about the National Broadband Plan, the FCC has launched a new blog called
“Blogband” at http://blog.broadband.gov.  Blogband is intended to keep the public up-to-date about
progress on the National Broadband Plan and to allow public feedback, comment, and discussion that will
help the FCC in developing the best possible Plan.  In creating Blogband, the FCC recognizes the need to
reconcile such innovative use of the Internet in communicating with the government with the more
traditional requirement of creating an administrative record, (i) to give interested parties notice of other
parties’ comments, (ii) to allow the Commission to address significant issues and (iii), if necessary, to
provide a basis for judicial review.
* You can make comments and suggestions, yes you!
