Clyburn today announced that she has launched “Clyburn Chat,” a blog on the Commission’s Reboot.FCC.gov Web site. The blog, which can be accessed at http://reboot.fcc.gov/commissioners/clyburn/blog, focuses primarily on the trips the Commissioner takes to meet with individuals, organizations, and industry beyond the Beltway, as well as on telecommunications events she attends in the D.C. metropolitan area. “This is new territory for me, but I see this as a great opportunity to have yet another avenue to communicate directly with the American public. One of the most interesting parts of my job is getting outside the Beltway – and outside the FCC itself – to interact with the consumers and businesses most impacted by our work at the Commission. I hope to share some of these interactions and offer a window into some of the fascinating people I meet and places I visit.” Commissioner Clyburn will update her blog periodically based on her travel and event schedule. The public will have the opportunity to post comments on the blog, subject to the Commission’s Blog Moderation Policy. --FCC--
