The Federal Communications Commission renewed the charter and named members to its Consumer Advisory Committee. The FCC established the CAC in November 2000 for the purpose of making recommendations regarding consumer issues within the jurisdiction of the Commission and to facilitate the participation of consumers, including people with disabilities and underserved populations, such as Native Americans and persons living in rural areas. The CAC's focus is on 1) Consumer protection and education, 2) Access by people with disabilities, and 3) the impact upon consumers of new and emerging technologies.
