Members of the FCC’s Consumer Outreach team will take to the road again for the next in a series of Rural Tours, this time journeying to the Upper Midwest states of Minnesota and Wisconsin.
During their travels to various cities and towns, the team will meet with community leaders and groups to share information and resources regarding telecommunication issues that affect daily lives. The team will also discuss the latest telecom scams targeting consumers’ privacy and pocketbooks, particularly in rural areas.
The Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau, in coordination with the Office of Communications Business Opportunities (OCBO) and the Wireline Competition Bureau, will host a webinar to discuss available resources and best practices for small and rural communications providers regarding network reliability and security.
This event is online only. Participants may register and join this webinar on the day of the event using the information provided below.
