A joint presentation of Public Knowledge and Silicon Flatirons, a Center for Law, Technology, and Entrepreneurship at the University of Colorado.

The world once known as “telecommunications” is changing dramatically. New technologies, new business models and new policy challenges lie ahead. The critical question for governmental policy in this sector is easy to state, but harder to answer: With a new administration, is the Federal Communications Commission truly equipped to deal with immediate challenges that it will face?

To explore the future of the FCC, we hope that you will join us as we convene a leading group of academics, current and former FCC officials, and leaders from the public interest community. We will compare future visions, explore historical lessons and, though a series of papers specially written for this conference, offer a comprehensive set of recommendations for the creation of an FCC well-prepared to confront contemporary challenges.

Please RSVP by January 2, 2009 to pk@publicknowledge.org or http://www.silicon-flatirons.org/events.php?id=560.
