FREE STATE FOUNDATION SEVENTH ANNUAL TELECOM POLICY CONFERENCE
Now that the FCC finally has released its 400 page order
classifying Internet service providers as public utilities, it should be clear why the theme of this year's conference is "The Future of the Internet: Free Market Innovation or Government Control."
No doubt the FCC's action will be the hottest topic at this year's conference. And to discuss the order, and what comes next, we're pleased to present an outstanding lineup of speakers, including Greg Walden, Steve Scalise, Ron Johnson, Mignon Clyburn, Ajit Pai, Michael O'Rielly, Maureen Ohlhausen, Rick Boucher, Gene Kimmelman, and more. Please see below!
