Provides Easy Access to More Than 30 Consumer Bulletins Available in Spanish
Washington, DC - Access to the FCC's Spanish-language consumer bulletins has become much easier with the launch of "Bienvenidos" the Consumer Information Bureau's (CIB) new homepage for Spanish-speaking consumers.
There are more than 30 consumer bulletins currently available in Spanish and more will be coming soon. Among the topics addressed are "slamming, " telephone scams, indecent broadcast programming, and low power FM radio. All of these are just a click away through the "Bienvenidos" page.
CIB Chief K.

This new web page goes a long way in achieving this goal."
