About This Event

Regulators and policymakers are struggling to keep up with rapid changes in the telecommunications industry.  Policies toward telecommunications can dramatically affect innovation, consumers, and overall economic growth. This conference will address two key issues:  first, whether regulations should guarantee what advocates call “net-neutrality,” which would restrict how Internet service providers can charge consumers and content providers; second, how to deal with today’s merger-mania and its implications.
