Predicting the Unpredictable - The FCC and the Future of
Telecommunications and the Internet

Abstract:

Dr. Farber has been immersed this past year as Chief Technologist
of the FCC where he has had an opportunity to examine and participate in 
the attempt to control, through the regulatory process, the new 
communications world. He will bring this
experience to a talk, which will explore the impact of advances in
communications technology on our national and international information 
infrastructure. Professor Farber will share his insights on the philosophy 
of the FCC, new leadership at the FCC, and the future technologies such as 
all optical networks, broadband wireless and others and how these changes 
will impact our society and businesses.
