FCC Agenda for August Meeting

You might have been thinking of sneaking out of town, but there's still more to do next week. The Communications Commission will hold an Open Meeting on Thursday, August 5, 2010. The FCC will consider: 1) a Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking that enables consumers with hearing loss to enjoy the tremendous benefits offered by modern advanced telephone voice communication devices and 2) a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking and Notice of Inquiry seeking to remove regulatory barriers to the use of spectrum for wireless backhaul and other point-to-point and point-to-multipoint communications, in order to lower the cost of backhaul services and accelerate investment in broadband networks throughout the nation. Sunscreen optional.
