Portal:Telecom, Media and Intellectual Property Policy (U.S.)/Intro

The articles on telecom, media and intellectual property policy in this portal cover the congressional and regulatory debates about issues including copyright, trademark and patent law, Internet governance, telecommunications and wireless regulation, Net neutrality, broadband availability, cable television, media ownership and funding for public broadcasting.

New! On July 24, 2007, Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) announced his plan to write national broadband strategy legislation online. This effort dovetails well with Congresspedia's efforts to collect knowledge about telecom, media and intellectual property. Read here about Durbin's project.
