Broadband Breakfast on January 28, 2026 - The FCC and Tech Policy in 2026

Whether independent or executive, the Federal Communications Commission shapes America's digital landscape through spectrum allocation, broadband oversight, and emerging technology regulation. It may also have a role in the artificial intelligence executive order issued by President Trump on December 11. Our panel will analyze the tech policy in 2026 in light of the FCC’s current communications priorities.
