BEA2015

This session – populated by academics, legal practitioners and government officials – will provide updates and analyses on issues that, when resolved, will govern and influence American telecommunications systems for the foreseeable future. What’s the status of the FCC “forward and reverse” spectrum auctions? How will FCC and Congressional actions affect the “open Internet.” What steps can federal and state governments, as well as telecommunications carriers, take to expand broadband in both urban and rural areas, and to further a problem-free transition to fully Internet-protocol systems?
