Four leading industry analysts will discuss the impact to service providers, edge innovators, application developers, network operations, and the competitive leverage among the large and small players across the broadband value chain.
Analyst Round Table on the FCC’s Net Neutrality Title II
Ruling and AWS-3 Auction
Monday, March 9, 2015 from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM (EDT)
Moderator: Roger Entner, Recon Analytics
- Berge Ayvazian, 20/20 Wireless
- Jan Dawson, Jackdaw Research
- Charles Golvin, Abelian Research
- Jim Patterson, Patterson Advisory Services
Among the key questions to be discussed are:
- What does the $44 billion paid for spectrum in Auction 97 say about spectrum scarcity, the value of low versus high-band spectrum and international spectrum harmonization?
- What are the implications of Dish Network’s $10 investment in AWS-3 wireless spectrum in the most recent auctions, since the company has no wireless network as of now?
- Will the FCC's Net Neutrality ruling and Title II regulations drive more fiber investment and encourage companies like Google to quickly deploy a third (fiber or otherwise) broadband alternative?
- How will the FCC's ruling apply to mobile broadband networks and what will be the effect on investment in spectrum and wireless infrastructure?
- What is the realistic timetable for reaching a stable and resolved regulatory status, taking into account likely legal challenges?
- Will this rulemaking likely lead to two-sided business models that increase the affordability of broadband services?
