About This Event

The event has been canceled.  We regret any inconvenience.

America’s wireless communications industry has grown dramatically in the last decade, as market competition and technological change have improved service quality and driven down prices. These improvements have come about in a relatively low-key regulatory environment. But the maturing industry now faces increased scrutiny and calls for more regulation on a variety of fronts. This Joint Center conference will examine the role of state and federal regulation in shaping the future of this vital industry.
