Join the kick-off for Telecom 2018
Organizers of the "Telecom 2018 Workshop", set for July 28, 2011 in Washington, DC, invite participation requests (see registration below). The free workshop explores the meaning, roadmap, and opportunities associated with the FCC Technical Advisory Council (TAC) recommendation for a "date certain" sunset of the PSTN . The track record strongly suggests working backward from a date certain represents the only means to discipline the diverse group of public and commercial interests with stakes in telecom sector transformation. Former FCC Chairman Dick Wiley will open the workshop with comments on the analog to digital transition associated with HDTV as a case study on how the move to all IP networks can enable HD voice and other new services.
The June 29, 2011 FCC TAC "date certain" recommendation represents a bookend to 100 years of telecom developments following the 1913 Kingsbury Commitment . A "date certain" finally gives the telecom industry permission to pursue a forward looking vision incorporating realities of the post-Internet communication landscape.
