Monday, March 30, 6:00 – 8:15 p.m. Understanding Net Neutrality and the Path Ahead
The FCBA Judicial Practice, Wireless Telecommunications, and Wireline Committees will co-sponsor a CLE on Monday, March 30 from 6:00 – 8:15 p.m., entitled “Understanding Net Neutrality and the Path Ahead.” This program will be held at Wiley Rein LLP, 1776 K Street, NW.
The debate over net neutrality turned “Title II” into 2014’s most unlikely household word. What will 2015 bring?
As the FCC moves toward reclassification of broadband, we are starting to gain a clearer picture of how the agency intends to regulate this key sector of the economy going forward. Our CLE will present two panels of distinguished speakers. The first will concentrate on the nuts and bolts of the proposed regulations. The second will cover the reactions of various stakeholders in the process—has the FCC’s proposal gone too far? Not far enough? Or has the agency managed to hit the mark?
