FCC CHAIRMAN JULIUS GENACHOWSKI VISITS NEBRASKA MAY 18TH TO TOUR          
JOB-CREATING SMALL BUSINESS MADE POSSIBLE BY HIGH-SPEED INTERNET 
Will Participate in Public Forum Aimed at Creating Jobs & Opportunity in Rural America             
through ‘Universal Service Fund’ Reform
(Washington, D.C) – FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski will make multiple stops in Nebraska on May 
18th to shine a spotlight on the urgent need to bring the job-creating benefits of broadband to rural 
America through critical ‘Universal Service Fund’ reform.  Over 300,000 Nebraskans are currently 
denied access to better health-care, education and jobs made possible by broadband internet service.  
That’s more than double the national average.  (18% unserved in Nebraska vs. 5-10 % unserved 
nationwide.)  
FCC Chairman Genachowski will tour small businesses that have flourished as a result of broadband 
access.  He will then meet individually with families and residents in neighboring areas that have no 
broadband access at all.  Finally, he will participate in an open workshop to collaborate with state-level 
colleagues as part of an ongoing effort to bring the benefits of broadband to every American – and close 
the rural-rural digital divide.  Chairman Genachowski will be joined at the workshop by FCC 
Commissioners Michael Copps and Mignon Clyburn.  
In addition, Chairman Genachowski will be joined by Congressman Lee Terry throughout the day.
