Companies and shareholders have lost billions of dollars as a wave of bankruptcies and business failures has rolled through this industry. Corporate leaders and industry pundits have faulted federal and state regulators for doing either too much or too little to prevent this market meltdown. What could policymakers have done to prevent this catastrophe? What public policy should govern this sector in future? In particular, how should new Internet services and broadband technologies be regulated to ensure market stability. Is another Telecommunications Act needed? A panel of industry experts will debate these issues and answer audience questions. 10:30-10:30 a.m. Registration 10:30-10:35 a.m. Adam Thierer-Welcoming Remarks Director of Telecommunications Studies, Cato Institute 10:35 a.m.-12:30 p.m. PANEL DISCUSSION Dorothy Attwood Senior Vice President, Federal Regulatory Strategy SBC Communications Vab Goel Venture Partner, Norwest Venture Partners Janice Haber Adviser, OFS (Optical Fiber Solutions) Om Malik Senior Writer, Business 2.0 Bruce M.
