FCC Asks Congress For Four-Week Extension Of Broadband Plan

The FCC has asked Congress for a four-week extension of the Feb. 17 deadline for delivering a national broadband plan.

“In order to ensure that there is sufficient time to more fully brief Commissioners and key members of Congress, to get additional input from stakeholders, and to fully digest the exhaustive record before the agency, the chairman has requested from Congressional leaders a short extension of 4 weeks in order to deliver the final plan,” said Colin Crowell, senior counselor to FCC chairman Julius Genachowski, in an e-mailed statement.
