Agenda
| 9:40 am | Congress & the Open Internet Order: Discuss - Colin Crowell, Founder & Principal, Crowell Strategies [bio] This expert panel will discuss and debate the political, legal and marketplace implications following the Federal Communications Commission's December 21 Open Internet order. The panel will forecast what 112th Congress' reaction will be, considering the strong feelings many Members have expressed about FCC authority over the Internet. Based on the Chairman's letter on asserting ancillary jurisdiction under Title I, what are the legal consequences of this ruling and what would be the substance of the expected court challenges? What effect, if any, will FCC rules have on innovation in the marketplace? If decisions will be on a case-by-case basis, subject to the new framework, what existing issues would fit under FCC authority and which would not? How does the ruling affect the wireless space? |
* Subject to change. More panels and keynotes may be added.
