YouTube To Host FCC Chief

March 10, 2010

The session will take place next Tuesday, the day the FCC plans to unveil its long-awaited national broadband plan. Video and text questions for Genachowski can be submitted via YouTube's CitizenTube site, where users can also vote on which questions should be posed to Genachowski. The suggested topic areas for questions relate to the broadband plan. They include access and affordability, mobile and wireless, security and privacy, and issues related to the open Internet debate.

"Access to the Internet has transformed almost every aspect of our economy and society," Steve Grove, YouTube's head of news and politics, said in a post on the policy blog of Google, which owns YouTube. "This is your chance to press the FCC on how the national broadband plan will help bring the Internet to everyone."
