The Twenty-Fifth Annual
Telecommunications Policy Research Conference
Fall, 1997
Washington, DC area
For more info: http://www.si.umich.edu/~prie/tprc
The Telecommunications Policy Research Conference (TPRC) is an annual
forum for dialogue among scholars engaged in publishable research
on policy-relevant telecommunications issues, and public and private
sector decision makers engaged in making telecommunications policy.
The purpose of the conference is to acquaint policy makers with
the best of recent research in telecommunications, and to familiarize
researchers with the knowledge needs of policy makers.
TPRC is now soliciting research papers or complete session proposals
for presentation at its 1997 conference. Papers should be based on
current theoretical and/or empirical research relevant to the making
of telecommunications policy, and may be from any disciplinary
perspective. In addition, because this year marks the 25th anniversary
of the TPRC, we invite papers that place telecommunications policy in
historical perspective, or that identify future trends and issues.
Subject areas of particular interest include, but are not limited to:
Telecommunications Economics
Allocation of Internet Resources
Cost Structure of the Local
Exchange
Network Economics
Spectrum Management
Market Structure for Internet
Convergence and Competition
Video Competition
Vertical Integration
