The Free State Foundation will hold a policy seminar, "Reforming Communications Policy in the Digital Age: The Path Forward," on June 25, 2014, beginning promptly at 9:00 a.m. in SVC Room 209-08 in the Capitol Visitors Center, Washington, DC.
Senator John Thune, the Ranking Member of the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee, will deliver the Opening Keynote Address. This will be a major address by Senator Thune on the need for modernizing our communications and technology laws, addressing topics such as Internet regulation, spectrum policy, and digital trade.
The discussion will continue with reactions from John Bergmayer, Public Knowledge, Scott Cleland, Precursor® LLC, and Adam Thierer, Mercatus Center at George Mason University, and questions and comments from the audience.
The House Commerce Committee is in the midst of an ongoing process to review and update the Communications Act. The FCC has just proposed to adopt controversial new net neutrality regulations and it is implementing complex new spectrum auction rules and policies. And, of course, the Commission will be reviewing two significant proposed mergers (Comcast/Time Warner Cable and AT&T/DIRECTV) and perhaps a third (Sprint/T-Mobile). There is more, of course, but there is no doubt, given the fast-paced technological and marketplace changes, that this is an especially propitious time to take stock of communications policy reform efforts.
There is no fee to attend this event which is open to the public. A continental breakfast will be served. But in order to attend, you must register here. Twitter: #reformcommpolicy
