Ask the FCC Chair a Question

Filed in National by on March 14, 2010

This coming Tuesday, the FCC is announcing its National Broadband Plan, outlining the path to get all of us connected to fast and affordable internet service. Once the plan is announced, the FCC Chair, Julius Genachowski, will sit for a You Tube interview — answering questions submitted by citizens and chosen (via ratings) by us.

The NYT summarizes the plan:

According to F.C.C. officials briefed on the plan, the commission’s recommendations will include a subsidy for Internet providers to wire rural parts of the country now without access, a controversial auction of some broadcast spectrum to free up space for wireless devices, and the development of a new universal set-top box that connects to the Internet and cable service.

Go here to start looking (and rating) questions in any of the seven categories You Tube has structured this Q&A by. Questions can be via video submitted to Citizen Tube or via text. You have until tonight at 11:59PM PT to weigh in.
