Hudson to Host Conference to Examine Competition in the Wireless Industry

Competition in the wireless industry is also examined by the Federal Communications Commission. Each year, the FCC prepares a report on competition in the wireless industry.

Hudson Institute's Center for Economics of the Internet is hosting a seminar to discuss the actual state of competition in the wireless industry, how it is measured, and the consequences of measuring it badly. Professor Gerald Faulhaber of the University of Pennsylvania and Professor Robert Hahn of Oxford University will discuss their paper, entitled "Assessing Competition in U.S. Wireless Markets: Review of the FCC's Competition Reports." Senior Fellow and Director of the Center, Harold Furchtgott-Roth, will introduce and moderate the discussion.
