Broadband Policy Summit V, Washington’s preeminent broadband communications policy forum, promises more than ever to be the place to learn how to position your company and clients to thrive in this new broadband environment.

At "BPS V," the nation’s top public and private sector voices will share their insights on:

  • Who has the ear of the Obama administration, and what will they say?
  • Who’s running the Congress, and what’s important to them?
  • How will a new cabinet-level Chief Technology Officer affect the market?
  • What’s the future for network management?
  • Will broadband deployment surge or suffer in the new political-economic climate?
  • Who will challenge the cable/telcom broadband duopoly?
  • Will the Obama administration change the balance between competition and consolidation?
  • What’s next for the TV white spaces? For the D Block and the national public safety network?
  • What will be the new shape of the Universal Service program? Who wins, and who loses?

As momentous economic and political events unfold, 2009 promises to be one of the most challenging, most promising, and most significant years in recent memory. As the Obama administration—an administration more tech-savvy and net-resident than any before it—takes the reins, a new age in telecommunications law and policy truly begins.

  • Leverage the ever-changing role of the FCC and the changing of the guard in Washington to optimize your broadband business opportunities and serve your clients.
