NEWSReport No. GN 95-4                     GENERAL ACTION                              June 6, 1995


                   FCC UPGRADES SERVICES ON THE INTERNET    


     In response to comments by its Internet users, the FCC recently took steps to improve
services on the Internet.  

     The new FCC homepage (http://www.fcc.gov) offers an easy to use entry point to the
FCC's online resources.  The page features selectable buttons to go directly to high interest
items such as the Daily Digest, the Commission Agenda, Auctions, and current Rulemakings. 
There also is a button called "Getting Information."  This provides a comprehensive tour of 
what information is available, and where it can be found on the site.  It introduces the
Commission, the Bureaus, and Offices and provides links to all available online documents,
including the Daily Digest, Orders, Notices of Proposed Rulemaking, Speeches, and Public
Notices.  New material is added daily. There is also a link to the FCC phone directory, which
is updated weekly.

     A general mailbox for e-mail to the FCC is available:  fccinfo@fcc.gov.  This address
can be used for general questions, comments, or help from the FCC regarding the FCC Internet
site.  Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests can be sent to fccfoia@fcc.gov.

     The FCC Internet staff will continue to develop and expand its Internet services.  Public
comments and suggestions to help in this effort are invited.
