On Tuesday, March 2, 2010, FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski will address Native American leaders from across the country at the 2010 Executive Council Winter Session of the National Congress of American Indians. The Chairman's address will focus on the working recommendations in the National Broadband Plan for improving broadband access and adoption on Tribal lands, which lag far behind most other areas of the country.

Recognizing the importance of broadband for ensuring America's economic development and leadership, Congress and the President tasked the FCC with developing a National Broadband Plan to connect all Americans to affordable, world-class, high-speed Internet. The FCC's National Broadband Plan, which the agency will deliver to Congress on March 17, 2010, will create jobs and spur economic growth; unleash new waves of innovation and investment; and improve education, health care, energy efficiency, public safety, and the vibrancy of our democracy.
