  • Are Telecom Policymakers Getting Good Information on Technology?
  Telecommunications policy is inherently interdisciplinary. Some policy issues are closely linked to the underlying technology. This panel will discuss the quality and quantity of useful technical information that is available to policymakers who are confronting these issues, and what additional steps if any might make help policymakers be even better informed in the future. The panel includes both telecom policymakers, i.e. a former FCC Chairman, former FCC Commissioner, and former Acting Assistant Secretary of Commerce. It also includes engineers who have informed policymakers as members of staff at the FCC and the House Commerce Committee, and on technical advisory committees to the FCC and NTIA.
