National Broadband Plan Translations Released

The Federal Communications Commission released translations of the National Broadband Plan's Executive Summary in six Asian and Pacific Islander languages -- Chinese (Simplified), Thai, Vietnamese, Korean, Tagalog, and Samoan.

These translations represent an early step ­ but not our last step ­ in our efforts to reach out to AAPI populations about the power of broadband. Yesterday, the two of us were in Los Angeles, holding an outreach event in partnership with the California Public Utilities Commission, the Office of the California CIO, and the Asian-Pacific Chamber of Commerce, and talking to a crowd of community based organizations, small business owners, and consumers about what they can do to help bring broadband to all members of the Los Angeles community. We look forward to working with the Asian American community to make broadband access a reality for all Americans.
