Abstract
While most Americans enjoy access to telecommunications services and the Internet, many Native people are still waiting for basic phone service. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has some new initiatives to increase telecommunications services for tribes. Meanwhile, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is providing free public access computers and training to reservations. Guests include FCC Commissioner Gloria Tristani.
