Dear Reader,<\/span><\/p>\n

Welcome to the next generation of regulation- the one that will be focused on the Wireless device in your hands!<\/span><\/p>\n

The FCC, in an effort to safeguard the free and open Internet, is looking to formalize and define the principles of network openness that would apply to all platforms that access the Internet as well as the carrier’s role in enabling that access.<\/span><\/p>\n

So now the question is “Can the concept of open be governed?” Does the FCC have a role in Apple’s iPhone, even if AT&T is simply a transport partner?  Does Google have to consider itself a carrier because of the use of a phone number? <\/span><\/p>\n

Join us at <\/span>4GWE, January 20-22, 2010<\/span><\/a><\/span> as we discuss the very relevant topic of the next generation of net neutrality and the FCC’s role in the companies, devices, networks and applications driving the 4G Evolution.<\/span><\/p>\n

Todd Daubert of Kelley Drye, Rick Whitt of Google, Hank Hultquist of AT&T, and Glenn Richards, of Pillsbury Law <\/span><\/b>join us as we discuss where the debate about Net Neutrality should end and what strategies companies should take to monetize 4G networks, applications and devices.<\/span><\/p>\n
