WASHINGTON, D.C. — Democratic FCC Commissioner Anna M. Gomez will host a webinar on Tuesday (3/17) featuring panel conversations with communications and technology policy experts who lived through the creation and implementation of the Telecommunications Act of 1996.
Back then, Gomez served as a Legal Advisor in the FCC’s Common Carrier Bureau, helping implement the Act signed into law by President Clinton. In the webinar titled “30th Anniversary of the 96 Act: What Did We Learn?” participants in the midday event intend to explore how lessons from the past 30 years can drive innovation and competition for consumers today.
Topics addressed during the three-hour webinar, scheduled for a Noon ET start, will include artificial intelligence, media, competition, convergence, access, and cybersecurity.
There is no registration required for the virtual event, with access via the FCC Events Webpage or at https://www.fcc.gov/news-
