FCC's Copps at the Peoples' Friendship University, Moscow

On his 17th visit to Russia, Federal Communications Commission member Michael Copps spoke about the importance of the U.S.-Russia relationship -- and the importance of Information and Communications Technologies.

"[T]hose who work for progress in all business sectors are awakening to the realization that progress in each of them hinges importantly on adopting the telecommunications technologies of the Twenty-first century. We are moving to a digital world now-very quickly-and the broadband that drives this transition has become what I call the 'Great Enabler' of our time," he said.
