FCC Seeks Input
The FCC wants to hear from you. The agency launched a new Web site Thursday called Reboot.FCC.gov aimed at soliciting public input on how the FCC can improve citizen interaction with the commission. The site will seek feedback on such issues as how the FCC presents its data, the redesign of the agency's Web site and ways to improve agency decision making. The site also will feature a blog with posts from the FCC's five commissioners and other agency employees.
FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski has pledged to reform the agency in the wake of increased scrutiny in recent years from Congress. The House Energy and Commerce Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee released a scathing staff report in 2008 that found "abuses of power, suppression of information and manipulation of data" during the leadership of then-Chairman Kevin Martin and recommended several changes.
"Transforming the commission into a model of excellence in government is one of my top priorities," Genachowski said in a news release. "The success of this transformation depends on strong public participation throughout the process."
