Staff working on the proposed National Broadband Plan are hoping to wrap up the final comments cycle by Jan. 27, Phoebe Yang, chief counsel and senior advisor to the Omnibus Broadband Initative, told the Federal Communications Commission at its monthly meeting today.
To date, 69,002 pages of comments have been filed, including 1,500 proposals and thousands of recommendations. The commission’s legal advisors can expect to begin being briefed on the iniative next week and the staff expects to make a presentation at the FCC’s meeting next month, Yang said.
The FCC has been given a one-month extension as it develops the plan, which President Obama called for last year.
The agency previewed the plan, which calls for more access to spectrum, in early December.
