Modernize the FCC

The strategic goal for modernizing the FCC is to emphasize performance and results through excellent management and to develop and retain independent mission-critical expertise and align the FCC with the dynamic communications markets.

The FCC has committed itself to making the fundamental changes necessary to become a more responsive, efficient, and effective agency capable of facing the technological and economic opportunities of the new millennium.

While these changes have begun with an agency-wide reorganization and dedication of resources to recruiting, training, equipping, and deploying an expert workforce, much remains to be done as the agency seeks to capitalize on its competencies in:

• Promoting competition, innovation, and investment in broadband services and facilities,
• Supporting the Nation’s economy by ensuring an appropriate competitive framework for the unfolding of the communications revolution,
• Encouraging the highest and best use of spectrum domestically and internationally,
• Revising media regulations so that new technologies flourish alongside diversity and localism, and
• Providing leadership in strengthening the defense of the Nation’s communications infrastructure.

• Structure the FCC so that it can flexibly respond to Congress, consumers, and the communications industries in a timely manner.

• Provide and sustain mission-critical training and development in order to ensure excellence among a diverse and expert staff.

• Offer employees educational and advancement opportunities.
