Government Publications

I co–authored numerous Notice of Inquires, Congressional responses, merger reviews, Notice of Proposed Rulemakings, and Orders while at the FCC. While these tasks preempted my academic research and publishing, I was able to gain considerable insight into the Federal policy making process. As an example of this work, the cite below is the last document that I co–authored while at the FCC:

1. Notice of Inquiry Regarding High Speed Access to the Internet over Cable and Other Facilities, October, 2000,
