FCC Won't Remove Link To 'Transitions' Site Just Yet

The Federal Communications Commission has put off its move to transition away from its "transition.FCC.gov" Web site front page. When the FCC redesigned its website in 2011, there were enough concerns about ease of functionality on the redesigned site that the commission also featured a prominent link to the old home page. Initially, its plan was to have "transitions.gov" redirect to the new home page, starting Feb 3, which ended up not happening. According to a source at the commission, the decision had to do with the ongoing FCC reform initiative -- a recent recommendation is to improve website functionality. Since further changes to the Web site could stem from that reform effort, said the source, the thought was not to make a change twice, so the "transitions" link remains.
