About This Event

Almost nine years have passed since the Telecommunications Act of 1996—the first major congressional overhaul of telecommunications law in almost sixty-two years. The provisions concerning competition for local telephone services have been especially controversial and have prompted much litigation. Given the likelihood that Congress will revisit telecommunications legislation in 2005, this conference inaugurates a new series on the future of American telecommunications by asking how Congress should best proceed with reform.
