About This Event

America's wireless communications industry has grown dramatically in recent years, as fierce competition and explosive technological change have improved service and driven down prices. These improvements have come about in a relatively low-key regulatory environment. But the very success of the industry, which has transformed service from a luxury to a part of daily life, has led to increased scrutiny and calls for government intervention on a variety of fronts. Panelists representing a wide spectrum of views will discuss the sort of regulation that makes sense for wireless, as well as the appropriate division of responsibility between state and federal agencies.
