Copps Speaks to National Congress of American Indians

Speaking to the National Congress of American Indians on Nov 17, Federal Communications Commission member Michael Copps noted the FCC's recent work with Tribal Governments to bring Native communities access to the enabling communications technologies necessary to prosper in the 21st Century.

He announced that on March 3, 2011, the Federal Communications Commission will convene a Tribal Issues Commission Meeting in Washington, DC, focusing exclusively on the issues that matter to Indian Country. The event will immediately follow NCAI's Executive Council Winter Session. The Chairman and other Commissioners will be in attendance and will examine ways-through our regulatory and other processes-to identify and remove the barriers to deployment of services on and near Tribal lands.
