Public Policy Events

While we will feature a great deal of technology innovations, it comes as no surprise that telecommunications public policy will also be a focus of The Cable Show. We issued a press release today highlighting some of the speakers and sessions, including a keynote address from U.S. Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez. Another highlight will be a panel moderated by former FCC Commissioner Kathleen Abernathy and featuring three former FCC Chairmen and Commissioners, each representing the views of one of the three major Presidential candidates, commenting on the 2008 Presidential election and the regulatory outlook for telecommunications under each potential administration. They are:

  • Bill Kennard, former Chairman, FCC (Obama)
  • Susan Ness, former Commissioner, FCC (Clinton)
  • Michael Powell, former Chairman, FCC (McCain)
