Pike & Fischer’s
Broadband Policy Summit IV

View the Summit program

Dear Colleague,

As the Bush Administration enters its final stretch in office, the FCC has a variety of key broadband issues on its plate. And the 110th Congress is under pressure to pass a number of communications measures before the Fall election preempts its attention. In parallel, the unprecedented 700 MHz spectrum auction will undoubtedly have wide-ranging impact on the global broadband landscape.

Amidst all of this pending change, one thing remains constant — Pike & Fischer’s Broadband Policy Summit remains Washington’s preeminent communications forum. On June 12-13, 2008 “BPS IV” will once again help top-level executives, legislators, regulators, lobbyists, policy makers, investors and technologists come to grips with the swirling forces of technology change, leadership shifts, policy changes and evolving business models.

Who Attends The Summit? Executives, investors, legislators, regulators, lobbyists, policy makers, attorneys and technologists who need to understand the coming wave of business and legal changes affecting high-speed Internet access, IP telephony, video-over-IP, broadband content and communications competition. View who has attended our previous three Summits.

Why Attend BPS IV? To gain a better understanding of the swirling forces affecting change in the communications sector, to meet, greet and network with the insiders and policy makers shaping our nation’s broadband future and to ensure your competitive position within an environment of change in Washington.

What Will BPS IV Cover? The latest inside information about broadband and IP communications business, legislative and regulatory trends, and how policy makers are grappling with the unprecedented pace of broadband-related service advances.  View the detailed Summit program.
