Summary: A court of appeals ruling a month ago triggered a tremendous amount of discussion about the extent of the Federal Communications Commission's authority in a variety of broadband regulatory and enforcement arenas. The potential impact of the decision along with the expected oversight of Congressional committees make it imperative to host a discussion on the issues raised by this intriguing decision. The briefing, titled "Federal Communications Oversight and Authority: Who Is in Charge?," will be held in the U.S. Capitol Building on Tuesday, May 11, 2010.
