Office of Communications Business Opportunities The Office of Communications Business Opportunities (OCBO) promotes telecommunications business opportunities for small, minority-owned, and women-owned businesses. To this end, OCBO works with entrepreneurs, industry, public interest organizations, individuals, and others to provide information about FCC policies, increase ownership and employment opportunities, foster a diversity of voices and viewpoints over the airwaves, and encourage participation in FCC proceedings. OCBO also mails information on Commission notices and new service opportunities to those within our database of over 3,000 small, minority-owned, and women-owned businesses and other interested entities. OCBO periodically co-hosts auction seminars to inform the public about new licensing opportunities, as well as seminars concerning new technologies and business opportunities utilizing unlicensed spectrum. To assist small businesses in understanding and complying with the FCC's rules, the OCBO web site provides a comprehensive list of small business compliance guides. OCBO acts as the principal advisor to the Chairman and the Commissioners on issues, rulemakings, and policies affecting small, women- and minority-owned communications businesses. OCBO also represents the FCC in various matters coordinated with the U.S. Small Business Administration, including Regulatory Flexibility Act and the Small Business Act matters. We hope that our web page, as well as the wealth of other FCC web site information, assists you in pursuing your telecommunications objectives. Please let us know of any additional features or information that we might add to our web page, to assist you. Broadband Policy Workshop for Small and Disadvantaged Businesses (“SDBs”) 8/18/09 at 1:30 pm(EST) The workshop will explore whether small and disadvantaged businesses (SDBs) are ready to take advantage of broadband technology and its antecedent benefits to help these businesses grow and reach new markets. It will explore whether communities where such small businesses reside are equipped with broadband, understand the value broadband brings to the business equation, and what, if any, role government, educational institutions and the private sector should undertake to assist SDBs to incorporate and harness the power of broadband.
