FCC Includes Blogband Postings as Part of the Record for the National Broadband Plan

To foster dialogue about the National Broadband Plan, the Federal Communications Commission launched a new blog called "Blogband." The FCC is now clarifying that views expressed on Blogband will be part of the official record in the National Broadband Plan proceeding (known to wonks as GN Docket No. 09-51). And, so, the FCC is advising people to track both its Electronic Comment Filing System and Blogband to ensure that they are aware of all relevant views expressed to the Commission concerning the National Broadband Plan. And, if you make a posting at Blogband, you do NOT have to make an ex parte filing.
