STATEMENT OF FCC CHAIRMAN JULIUS GENACHOWSKI ON “IT CAN WAIT” 
CAMPAIGN, NATIONAL PLEDGE AGAINST DISTRACTED DRIVING
“Distracted driving continues to cost lives every single day.  That’s why, last year, I challenged the 
wireless industry to step up and implement innovative solutions to help tackle this growing and dangerous 
problem.  I commend AT&T for launching this important awareness campaign that will help make texting 
and driving as unacceptable as drinking and driving.  All of us must be part of the solution, recognizing 
that while mobile technologies offer enormous benefit, they create new challenges we must tackle 
together.”
