AFB Technology Policy Teleseminar:
Responding to the National Broadband Plan and the Proposed 508 Rules

May 27, 2010, 2:00pm Eastern



With the release this Spring by the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) of its comprehensive National Broadband Plan and the publication
by the U.S. Access Board of an invitation for the public to comment on
the pending refresh of the federal government's technology accessibility
obligations, advocates have opportunities to affect real change.

On Thursday afternoon, May 27, from 2:00pm to 3:30pm Eastern, join the
Public Policy staff of the American Foundation for the Blind (AFB) and
expert guest presenters to learn more about what these two important
opportunities to improve technology accessibility for people with vision
loss offer, what they are intended to achieve, and how you can respond
most effectively to them. Presenters will include:

Elizabeth Lyle
Special Counsel for Innovation
Wireless Telecommunications Bureau, FCC
Washington, DC

and

Brad Hodges
National Technology Associate
AFB-TECH
Huntington, WV

To join the call, dial the following numbers a few minutes before the
prompt 2:00pm Eastern start time:

1-800-294-4202
Participant Code: 88-070

All are welcome.
