"Communications policy" is no longer a silo unto itself. Communications impacts every area of our lives, including health care, taxes, and our homes. With our health, livelihoods and lifestyles involved, it's more critical than ever to get communications policy right.
mHealth is revolutionizing the health care system, creating digital pathways for care. Smart systems are transforming homes with unsurpassed conveniences, efficiencies, and connectedness, yet there are still challenges. But the digital future stands threatened by multiple or discriminatory online taxes unless Congress makes permanent the Internet tax moratorium. And it remains far from assured that we will succeed in freeing up sufficient spectrum for imminent demands of our new mobile lifestyles.
Please join the Institute for Policy Innovation (IPI) at our fifth annual Communications Summit, featuring industry insiders and thought leaders with expertise in tax, health care, and communications policy to discuss these issues and more facing our digital world.
