Technological Advisory Council

The Federal Communications Commission has established an Advisory Committee, called the Technological Advisory Council (``the Council''), to advise the Commission on advances in technology that have resulted in innovations in how telecommunications services are provided to, and are accessed by, users of those services. Many of these advances are increasing the rate of convergence among categories of services that have traditionally been viewed as distinct, such as cable television services, telephony, data services, and internet services. Regulations must be examined in light of these technology advances, and the Federal Communications Commission (``FCC'') must remain abreast of new developments in technology so that it can effectively fulfill its responsibilities under the Communications Act.
