In the wake of the FCC鈥檚 controversial victory in U.S. Telecom Association v. FCC, and as the presidential election approaches, the future of the American communications industry is uncertain. To what extent will the FCC鈥檚 proposal to eliminate the cable television industry鈥檚 set-top boxes threaten innovation in the television marketplace? Are zero-rated data practices forbidden by the Open Internet Order, and how much longer will these offerings remain in legal limbo? Will the FCC redeem its struggling spectrum incentive auction? How will the Commission justify unequal treatment of broadband companies and edge providers in its current privacy rulemaking?

On October 13, distinguished FCC Commissioner Michael O鈥橰ielly addressed these questions and discussed the future of federal regulation of the communications industry. Harold Furchtgott-Roth, Director of the 华体会鈥檚 Center for the Economics of the Internet and a former FCC Commissioner, moderated the event.
