Fri, 9 October 2009 We're on the ground at the Fall 2009 CTIA conference in San Diego.
While we didn't see many new devices come out of this show, there was a
lot of great content. This show features the keynote speeches of FCC
Chairman Julius Genachowski and AT&T CEO Ralph de la Vega. You'll
hear Genachowski lay out a plan to address two of
the wireless industry's major policy complaints with four goals for the
FCC that he said would aid
the wireless industry in providing mobile broadband to consumers. In
the keynote appearance immediately AT&T Mobility CEO Ralph de la
Vega spoke out against
the chairman's net neutrality push. de la Vega essentially argues
against any regulation
that could slow the industry's growth. Specifically, de la Vega said
the Internet should be free of regulation, and not subject to the net
neutrality regulations that Genachowski has been pushing for. Comments[0] |
