 FCC  CONSUMER  INFORMATION  BUREAU  LAUNCHES  “BIENVENIDOS,” 
 A  SPANISH-  LANGUAGE  HOMEPAGE 
 Provides  Easy  Access  to  More  Than  30  Consumer  Bulletins  Available  in  Spanish 


 Washington,  DC  –  Access  to  the  FCC’s  Spanish-  language  consumer  bulletins  has 
 become  much  easier  with  the  launch  of  “Bienvenidos”  the  Consumer  Information  Bureau’s 
 (CIB)  new  homepage  for  Spanish-  speaking  consumers. 


 There  are  more  than  30  consumer  bulletins  currently  available  in  Spanish  and  more  will 
 be  coming  soon.  Among  the  topics  addressed  are  “slamming,  ”  telephone  scams,  indecent 
 broadcast  programming,  and  low  power  FM  radio.  All  of  these  are  just  a  click  away  through  the 
 “Bienvenidos”  page. 


 CIB  Chief  K.  Dane  Snowden  said,  “With  many  millions  of  Spanish-  speaking  consumers 
 in  our  country,  it  is  important  to  make  it  convenient  for  them  to  educate  themselves  about  the 
 choices  they  will  be  making  concerning  telecom  products  and  services.  This  new  web  page  goes 
 a  long  way  in  achieving  this  goal.”
