A “Vision of the Future” – FCC Policy Makers Take Center Stage at the 2022 Somos Summit!

Sep 13, 2022

Protecting the integrity of telephony, ensuring the safety of consumers and holding robocallers, spoofers and scammers accountable are all chief priorities at the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). From proposing historical fines against Toll-Free traffic pumpers to designating 988 as a nationwide 3-digit number for suicide prevention support, throughout 2022 – and beyond! – the FCC continues to promote “Strength in Numbers” in all that they do.

At the 2022 Somos Summit, we are excited to feature not just one, but TWO “Vision for the Future” sessions featuring leading FCC policy makers and Ann Berkowitz, SVP & Chief Administrative Officer – Strategic Public Policy & Number Administration, at Somos:

• A Vision for the Future Part One: FCC Commissioner Starks Encourages Everyone to Find It, Fix It, Fund It
  
  Ann and FCC Commissioner Geoffrey Starks sit-down for a thoughtful conversation around the initiatives that are ensuring that, coast to coast, modern communication’s technology is empowering, inspiring and forward-thinking.

• A Vision for the Future Part Two: FCC Competition Policy Division Chief Arluk Advocates for Access
  
  In her second of two conversations with FCC policy makers, Ann is joined by FCC Chief, Competition Policy Division, Wireline Competition Bureau, Pamela Arluk for a meaningful perspective on current events from the regulatory viewpoint.

From holding robocallers accountable for their fraudulent activities to expanding access to valuable telecom technology and beyond, throughout the past year, the FCC has worked tirelessly to promote a trusted, efficient and equitable communication’s ecosystem. Make sure you join us this September 28 from 10:45 AM to 11:25 AM MDT in Denver, CO for these exciting regulatory ruminations!
