摘要

FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski wants to connect all U.S. children to broadband and startnan interagency working group on Internet safety. Other priorities are reducing the number ofnads for junk food during kids' TV shows and establishing "a framework of online norms andnvalues," Genachowski said at the National Museum of American History. "A clear andnnon-negotiable goal" of the National Broadband Plan will be that "every child should benconnected to broadband," he said. "As a country we're falling behind," with a one-quarter ofnkids not online. Changing the Universal Service Fund by using it in part for broadband,nupdating E-rate rules to allow libraries to use funded resources for public Internet access afternschool hours and having thousands of people in a digital literacy corps are among the plan'snproposals, Genachowski said.
