ARLINGTON, Va., Oct. 4, 2024 - Legal experts met Friday for a panel discussion to provide updates on federal broadband issues, including pending litigation. Some panelists stressed the importance of the Federal Communications Commission having regulatory authority in expanding broadband access.

“We need Congress to make sure the FCC has adequate authority,” said Senior Counselor at the Benton Institute for Broadband and Society Andrew Schwartzman during the panel, which also included HWG Law partner Jason Neal.

The officials were speaking at the annual AnchorNets conference (Oct. 2-4) in Arlington, Va., hosted by the Schools Health & Libraries Broadband Coalition. The panel moderator was Reg Leichty, founder and partner at Foresight Law.
