The Year 2000 ("Y2K") problem, also known as the millennium bug, arises because so many automated and intelligent systems use two digits, not four, to indicate the year. At the turn of the century when the date changes from 1999 to 2000, there are concerns that these systems will fail to recognize the millennial change, thereby erroneously assuming "00" to be "1900," not "2000," causing many systems and records to fail. If not properly fixed, the Year 2000 problem could have serious consequences for the telecommunications industry and the entire economy. x  $v C(over) "h$-%%z z %"Ԍ4H 2  $v ԃ   xThe FCC is taking an active role in efforts to promote awareness and provide information and guidance within the telecommunications industries. Through its new web site, and its outreach program of communication with industry and trade associations, the FCC is working to ensure that companies and consumers are prepared for Year 2000 and repair their systems well ahead of the deadline. xThe FCC is gathering information from communications industries' ongoing efforts. Its Year 2000 internal working group will coordinate FCC efforts of every bureau and office with telecommunications providers and equipment manufacturers, telephone customers, and trade organizations to ensure Y2K compliance. xThe FCC will update and add to the information on the Year 2000 web site as more information becomes available on how the communications industries are responding to the Year 2000 problem. ?ԩ FCC T T TPNews Media contact: Audrey Spivack at (202) 4180512, David Fiske (202) 4180513 FCC Year 2000 Working Group contact: Mike Nelson at (202) 4182051 FCC Year 2000 web site address: http://www.fcc.gov/year2000/
