The Show Goes On For FCC

December 21, 2009 | 11:19 AM

The U.S. Postal Service has nothing on the FCC. It appears neither sleet nor snow can stop the FCC. Even though much of the nation's capital is shut down - including the federal government - for a third day after a massive snowstorm Saturday, the FCC issued a news release Monday noting that the agency's Chicago field hearing focusing on how broadband technology can assist small businesses will go on as scheduled.

The hearing, chaired by FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski, will feature small business owners, an Hispanic Chamber of Commerce representative, and officials from the Small Business Administration and the city of Chicago. Those interested in the hearing can view a live Webcast of the event, which starts at 2:30 p.m. EST, at http://www.fcc.gov/live/.
