FCC ANNOUNCES TENTATIVE AGENDA FOR APRIL 7TH OPEN MEETING
Washington, D.C. -- Today, Federal Communications Commission Chairman Julius Genachowski 
announced that the following items will be on the tentative agenda for the next open meeting scheduled 
for Thursday, April 7, 2011:
· Pole Attachment Report and Order and Order on Reconsideration: An Order that reforms 
the Commission’s access, rates, and enforcement rules for utility pole attachments, reducing
barriers to deployment and availability of broadband and other wireline and wireless services, and 
promoting competition.
· Accelerating Broadband Deployment NOI: A Notice of Inquiry seeking comment on key 
challenges and best practices in expanding the reach and reducing the cost of 
broadband deployment, including by improving policies for access to government rights of way 
and wireless facility siting requirements.
· Data Roaming Second Report and Order: A Second Report and Order that adopts a rule 
requiring facilities-based providers of commercial mobile data services to offer data roaming 
arrangements to other such providers on commercially reasonable terms and conditions, subject 
to certain limitations.
· Signal Boosters Declaratory Ruling, NPRM, and Order: A Declaratory Ruling, NPRM and 
Order that helps to fill gaps in wireless coverage and expands broadband in rural and difficult-to-
serve areas, while protecting wireless networks from harm.
· Structure and Practices of Video Relay Service Program: Report and Order will adopt rules 
to detect and prevent fraud and abuse in the provision of video relay service (“VRS”). Also, a 
Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking proposes to require all VRS providers to obtain 
certification from the FCC under new, tighter certification procedures in order to receive 
compensation from the TRS Fund.
· Reliability and Continuity of Communications Networks NOI: A Notice of Inquiry seeking 
comment on existing reliability standards for communications networks, including broadband 
networks, and ways to further strengthen the reliability and continuity of communications 
networks to avoid disruptions of service during major emergencies, such as large-scale natural 
and man-made disasters. 
Topics selected for FCC open meeting agendas are posted on the Commission’s website approximately 
three weeks prior to the Commission’s next monthly meeting. The FCC will also issue a public notice of 
the “Commission Meeting Agenda” one week before the meeting and announce at that time the items that 
are scheduled for the agenda. 
Commission meetings are open to the public, who can attend in person at the FCC headquarters (445 12th 
Street SW, Washington, D.C.), or watch the live stream at www.fcc.gov/live.
