FCC TO PARTICIPATE IN 2007 NATIONAL CONSUMER PROTECTION WEEK –
FEBRUARY 4-10
Activities to Include Daily Consumer Information on Website and Participation in the 
Congressional Consumer Information Fair
Washington, DC -- President Bush has declared February 4-10 “National 
Consumer Protection Week (NCPW),” a time dedicated to educating consumers about 
unfair practices that affect their lives daily.   This year’s theme is “Read Up, Reach Out: 
Be an Informed Consumer.”
On its Web site each day between February 5 and 9 the FCC will feature one 
important piece of information that consumers should know.  The subjects will include 
the telephone relay service, the transition to digital television, the Lifeline and Link-Up 
Programs for help paying for phone service, the FCC’s Consumer Registry e-mail 
service and help with understanding your phone bill. 
On Tuesday, February 6, FCC staff will be in Richmond, VA, to join other 
government agencies in a program at Westminster-Canterbury House to help seniors 
be informed users of telecommunications goods and services.  
In addition, on February 8, the FCC will be joining several other agencies at the 
annual Congressional Consumer Information Fair to be held at the Capital.  Staff will 
answer questions about telecom issues and distribute informational materials to 
consumers and Hill staff.
