b'On November 15, 2019, the Federalist Society\'s Telecommunications & Electronic Media Practice Group hosted a panel for the 2019 National Lawyers Convention at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, DC. The panel explored "The Future of Telecommunications Law and Policy".
In an era of unprecedented technological change and relentless innovation, what is the proper role of regulators in competition antitrust and innovation policy? America has achieved global leadership across a wide swath of technology sectors, but at what price? How should we balance global innovation leadership with domestic competition policy, and should our answer depend on the competition and IP policies of other countries?
