Event Details

Looking to the Year Ahead – Goodbye 2025 and “Oh No!” 2026 
2025 has been a roller-coaster ride of disruption in national telecom policy – including: 

  • Attacks on local governments by the industry and the Carr-era FCC;
  • A revived House preemption omnibus bill;
  • Uncertainty in our future for affordable broadband, BEAD, AI Infrastructure and local impacts; and continued deconstruction of telecom regulations. 

Our experts will break down what’s coming in the year ahead.

Moderator: Lani Williams, Of Counsel, NATOA

Speakers: Cheryl Leanza, Of Counsel, Best Best & Krieger LLP; Angelina Panettieri, Legislative Director, Technology & Communication, National League of Cities; Seamus Dowdall, Legislative Director, Telecommunications & Technology | Veterans and Military Services, National Association of Counties
