Digital Literacy Video Series, Part 19
Michael Peevey, President, California Public Utilities Commission
December 23, 2010
MR. PEEVEY: Well, we played a very significant role through the creation of the California
Emerging Technologies Fund, and through the creation of the California Advanced Services
Fund, to foster and promote the expansion of broadband services, which is an aspect
of digital literacy, all across the state of California, particularly to underserved
populations and rural populations in our state.
We’re very, very active. We’re probably the -- we’re certainly the leader in this
state and perhaps the leader in the world in doing this. And that is the role that the
Public Utilities Commission has played in expanding digital literacy statewide.
