Session Topics
Panel 1: Justifications for Regulation
What is/are the justification(s) for FCC regulation of IP-enabled
services, as those services are defined in n.1 of the NPRM? How
persuasive are these justifications? Do different justifications
underlie different aspects of the proposed rulemaking? What are
possible responses to these proposed justifications? Are justifications
for traditional FCC regulation of traditional services transferable to
this setting?
Panel 2: Ancillary Jurisdiction
What are the arguments for and against FCC's exercise of "ancillary
jurisdiction" over IP-enabled services, as such services are defined in
n.1 of the NPRM? Are there new ways of thinking about the FCC's role
and/or the jurisdictional approach suggested by the NPRM (e.g., a
"layers" approach) that might be useful? Can the FCC preempt state
actions without itself acting?
Panel 3: Universal Service
Should universal service contributions be required of all IP-enabled
services? Or only those that use telephone numbers or connect to the
telephone system? Or none?
Panel 4: CALEA
What is the proper scope of CALEA's coverage? As a matter of policy? Of
law? What is likely to happen next in this debate?
