Over the past year, the Future of American Communications (FACT) Working Group, composed of sixteen telecommunications scholars from eleven American universities, has been putting together a communications policy agenda for the next administration. On January 26th, they released the culmination of their work, a volume titled …and communications for all: A Policy Agenda for a New Administration. An executive summary of the book can be found here.

The group’s research and analysis covers a broad range of communication
policy challenges facing the new administration, directly addressing
issues like media ownership, universal broadband, protecting teenage
privacy, and revamping competition in broadband markets.
