The FCC Economic Seminars program, managed by the Economic Analysis Division in OEA, features recent research advances in the economics of telecommunications, media and the internet.

Likewise, staff questions, discussion, and statements made during presentations are solely those of the participants and in no way represent the views of the Federal Communications Commission, the Chairperson, any Commissioner, or any other Commission staff.
