Il regolatore americano, la Federal Communications Commission, ha deciso di servirsi degli strumenti del Web 2.0 per stimolare il dibattito e lo scambio di idee sul National Broadband Plan, l'ambizioso piano di investimento in infrastrutture e servizi di banda larga previsto nel quadro della politica di rilancio economico dell'amministrazione Obama. Oltre a un blog, subito denominato Blogband, la FCC ha aperto un canale su Twitter. Nel suo messaggio augurale, il nuovo responsabile della FCC Julius Genachowsky ribadisce che anche in questo caso la FCC intende confermare il suo approccio "aperto e partecipativo", offrendo al pubblico il modo di interagire con l'agenzia che tra circa sei mesi dovrà presentare il piano NBP davanti al Congresso. In precedenza, un analogo sforzo partecipativo era stato dispiegato nel corso dei pubblici incontri dedicati al tema del localismo nella programmazione della radio e della televisione, uno dei recenti cavalli di battaglia del regolatore.
FCC LAUNCHES “BLOGBAND” TO CHRONICLE NATIONAL BROADBAND PLAN
Also Launches Microblog on Twitter
Washington, D.C. – To stimulate public dialogue over the development of a National Broadband Plan, the Federal Communications Commission is launching a new blog, called “Blogband.” The blog will chronicle the development of the plan and invite readers to comment.
“To foster public dialogue about the National Broadband Plan, we’re tapping the power of the Internet to launch a new FCC blog,’’ FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski wrote in the blog’s first post. “Blogband will keep people up-to-date about the work the FCC is doing and the progress we’re making. But we want it to be a two-way conversation. The feedback, ideas, and discussions generated on this blog will be critical in developing the best possible National Broadband Plan.”
The blog can be found at http://blog.broadband.gov.
The FCC is also launching on the microblogging platform, Twitter, at http://www.twitter.com/fccdotgov. The FCC’s tweets will include news about the FCC and
progress reports on the National Broadband Plan. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 directed the FCC to submit a National Broadband Plan to Congress by February 17, 2010 that addresses broadband deployment, adoption, affordability, and the use of broadband to advance solutions to national priorities, including health care, education, energy, public safety, job creation, investment, and others.
