The FCC is convening a series of hearings to promote an open dialogue  
between the FCC and the public on development of a National Broadband  
Plan.  The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 directed the  
FCC to submit a National Broadband Plan to Congress by February 17,  
2010 that addresses broadband deployment, adoption, affordability, and  
the use of broadband to advance solutions to national priorities,  
including health care, education, energy, public safety, job creation,  
investment, and others.

Reasonable accommodations for people with disabilities are available  
upon request.  Include a description of the accommodation you will  
need with as much detail as possible.  Also include a way we can  
contact you if we need more information.  Please provide as much  
advance notice as possible; last minute requests will be accepted, but  
may be impossible to fill.  Send an e-mail to fcc504 at fcc.gov or call  
the Consumer & Governmental Affairs Bureau at 202-418-0530 (voice),  
202-418-0432 (TTY).
