New York, New York

--------------------------
TOPICS
--------------------------
What is the overall state of telecom competition? Should regulatory
policy be affected by Wall Street's loss of confidence in the telecom
and Internet sector? Will "forced access" or "open access" to cable
lines be required? Will universal service and E-Rate programs be
increased or decreased? Is there a "Digital Divide" and who is
responsible for closing it? Will Congress or the FCC change
communications merger policy? What about anti-trust enforcement? Will
broadcast and cable ownership restrictions be relaxed? What are
government agencies doing to promote broadband access and
infrastructure? Please join us for a discussion on key issues in
telecom, Internet and IT law and policy today.
