Antitrust: Will It Change The Lives Of Telecommunications Executives?, Deborah V. Ellenberg, Glen O. Robinson, Michael F. Urbanski, James R. Wade
Richmond Journal of Law & Technology
Good afternoon. This is the last panel of the afternoon. I would like to introduce myself. I'm Deborah Ellenberg, one of the hearing examiners at the State Corporation Commission, and I might add, who has a heightened appreciation for the Virginia Commission's wise decision to handle those arbitrations. I am sure on behalf of Howard, Glenn and myself, we thank you for that decision.

The Communications Decency Act: Aborting The First Amendment?, Sheryl L. Herndon L. Herndon

On February 8, 1996, President Clinton signed the Telecommunications Act of 1996 into law and explained that the legislation would "stimulate investment, promote competition, [and] provide open access for all citizens to the Information Superhighway." However, contrary to the goal of "opening wide the door to the Information Age," provisions of the Act violate the Constitution's First Amendment guarantee of freedom of speech by imposing far-reaching new federal criminal liabilities on Americans who exercise their free speech rights on the Internet. In particular, a little-noticed provision of the Act, which expands an 1873 law banning abortion-related speech by criminalizing Internet …

Local Exchange Services In The Next Century -- What Still Must Be Done To Bring Us To Where We Want To Be?, Hullihen Williams Moore, Richard L. Cimerman, John J. Langhauser, Philip Mcclelland, Mark J. Mathis

Our panel is Local Exchange Service in the Next Century--What Still must be Done to Bring Us to Where We Want to Be? We have four excellent panelists to address these questions. I expect the panelists to agree, in part, where we want to be, and they won't spend a whole lot of time about increased service, new technology, lower prices, and all those things. I am sure we'll hear some assurances along those lines, at least from three of the panelists. Most of the time will be spent on what still must be done to get us there. I …

Good morning. I am Clinton Miller. I'm one of the three members of the Virginia State Corporation Commission and charged with moderating this next panel. I will give you a brief overview before they begin because there may be some people in the room who are not deeply familiar with the procedural aspects of the Telecommunication Act of 1996.

Local Franchising: What Role Will Localities Play In The Regulations Of The Telecommunications Industry? Will They Become Providers Of Telecommunications Service To The Public?, Anthony Gambardella, Dana G. Coltrin, Timothy M. Kaine, David W. Ogburn Jr.
Richmond Journal of Law & Technology
Good morning, everybody. I am Tony Gambardella with the firm of Woods, Rogers & Hazelgrove in Richmond--formerly with the State Corporation Commission. We started yesterday's discussion with the promise of the Telecommunications Act of 1996. The main promise was, as of February 8, 1996, Congress had deregulated the telecommunications industry. The problem with the promise is that Congress retained some regulation within the industry. We have regulation at the federal level. We have a huge state role and this morning we are going to add another level--local government. Local governments have a role under the Act. There is some dispute …

It is a great honor to be this year's Emanuel Emroch Lecturer. Though I never had the privilege of knowing Mr. Emroch, I do feel on this occasion as though I were almost an honorary member of the Emroch family. And I am deeply grateful to that family for having continued a tradition which seems to me as fitting and as appropriate a memorial as one could imagine. It is a living memorial in the best sense and it gives those who gather in the name of the person being so honored a chance not only to carry on their …
