Extending Wireless Telecommunications Services to Tribal Lands

This document seeks comment on potential terrestrial wireless and satellite policy initiatives to address the telecommunications needs of Indians living on tribal lands. The Commission has been instructed to help ensure that all Americans have access to affordable telecommunications services. Consistent with that mandate, the Commission seeks to secure for consumers living on tribal lands the same opportunities to take advantage of telecommunications capabilities that other Americans have. In addition, the Commission seeks comment on whether to extend these initiatives to consumers in other unserved areas.
