FCC Launches Universal Service Working Group

FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski launched a Universal Service Working Group that will provide a comprehensive, collaborative approach to the FCC's reform of universal service programs to better support broadband.


The working group will be led by Sharon Gillett, Chief of the Wireline Competition Bureau, and will include participation by the Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau, the International Bureau, the Office of General Counsel, the Office of Managing Director, the Office of Strategic Planning, the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau, and the Wireline Competition Bureau. Smaller inter-bureau and inter-office working groups will work
collectively to propose concrete solutions to realize the universal service vision set forth in the
National Broadband Plan.
