FCC November Meeting Agenda Continues Focus on Broadband

Less than a week since the Federal Communications Commission's last meeting, the Commission is already planning for next month. Chairman Julius Genachowski released a tentative agenda with two items: 1) Wireless Service Facility Siting: A Memorandum Opinion and Order on promoting the deployment of wireless broadband services by reducing delays in the construction and improvement of wireless networks, while also preserving local zoning authority. 2) National Broadband Plan Status Report: Commission staff will report on the status of the National Broadband Plan, which the FCC must deliver to Congress on Feb. 17, 2010. The presentation will include analysis of the major gaps in broadband in America. The meeting will be held on Wednesday, November 18, 2009
