Session Topics





Panel 1: Justifications for Regulation


What is/are the justification(s) for FCC regulation of IP-enabled 
services, as those services are defined in n.1 of the NPRM? How 
persuasive are these justifications? Do different justifications 
underlie different aspects of the proposed rulemaking? What are 
possible responses to these proposed justifications? Are justifications 
for traditional FCC regulation of traditional services transferable to 
this setting?





Panel 2: Ancillary Jurisdiction


What are the arguments for and against FCC's exercise of "ancillary 
jurisdiction" over IP-enabled services, as such services are defined in 
n.1 of the NPRM? Are there new ways of thinking about the FCC's role 
and/or the jurisdictional approach suggested by the NPRM (e.g., a 
"layers" approach) that might be useful? Can the FCC preempt state 
actions without itself acting?





Panel 3: Universal Service


Should universal service contributions be required of all IP-enabled 
services? Or only those that use telephone numbers or connect to the 
telephone system? Or none?





Panel 4: CALEA


What is the proper scope of CALEA's coverage? As a matter of policy? Of 
law? What is likely to happen next in this debate?
