The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) launched the National Broadband Plan in a forum at Thompson Conference Center on Monday. In a Daily Texan article today, Commissioner Meredith Baker said, “The Internet is a critical educational tool. We came to Austin first. It is a model for educational benefits over the Internet.”

Featured at the forum were high school students who have benefited from three UT-Austin Continuing Education programs–the UT Online High School, the Migrant Student Graduation Enhancement program, and the Language Learners at the University Center for Hispanic Achievement (LUCHA) program.
