As we enter the 29th year of the Telcom Update, note that broadcast/cable/streaming businesses continues to interact with each other while ratings show a definite trend toward streaming and on-demand programming. Will there be a shake-out in services? AI is all the talk; how will AI impact telecommunications industries? Will the AI Fraud Act make digital replicas illegal and can the FCC attempt to regulate AI in some meaningful way? How do the FCC, FTC and other agencies navigate regulation in the post-Chevon era? Sports always makes headlines; will antitrust play a role in the Venu Sports service? In the post-election environment, will be see more state level regulation of social media laws, anti-woke issues and filming police actions. Of course, there’s always our favorites: net neutrality, ownership rules, deep fakes and video privacy protection. These and other important issues will make the Update panel a must see.
