McDowell to Alaska

Federal Communications Commission member Robert McDowell announced he will visit Anchorage and Fairbanks (Alaska) as part of the Commission's digital television awareness tour after the FCC's Office of General Counsel determined that Outer Mongolia is not, in fact, under FCC jurisdiction. Commissioner McDowell will be playing the Anchorage Senior Center Sullivan Room on Wednesday and the Fairbanks Public Library on Thursday. These visits are part of an extensive nationwide initiative the Commission has launched to increase awareness about the upcoming transition to digital television. (Mongolia's DTV transition has been delayed to 2050.)
