While reading through the <a href="http://hraunfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/DOC-296858A1.pdf">executive summary</a>, we were happy to discover similarities between the <span class="caps">FCC</span>&#8217;s proposed impact and our vision. The <a href="/about">vision</a> of the Transmission Project is <em>a robust and diverse media ecology enabling a world built upon the full participation of society</em>. From the <span class="caps">FCC</span>, under the heading of &#8220;Government performance and civic engagement&#8221; the plan includes recommendations&nbsp;to:</p> <blockquote><p> Increase civic engagement by making government more open and transparent, creating a robust public media ecosystem and modernizing the democratic&nbsp;process. </p></blockquote> <p>The <span class="caps">FCC</span> also shares our programs too: <a href="http://transmissionproject.org/current/2010/3/fcc-proposes-a-digital-literacy-corps">proposing a Digital Literacy Corps</a> similar to our Digital Arts Service Corps. Needless to say, we&#8217;re&nbsp;excited!</p> <p>(The visioning flipcharrts are from our&nbsp;archives.)</p> <p><img src="http://transmissionproject.org/sites/transmissionproject.org/files/transmission-visioning2.jpg" alt="Visioning flipchart" /></p> http://transmissionproject.org/current/2010/3/does-the-fcc-share-our-vision#comments broadband collaboration FCC vision Tue, 16 Mar 2010 17:09:57 +0000 admin 194 at http://transmissionproject.org
