Comments:


Not sure if I can make the call -- 24 hours of flights on Wednesday. If I can't join, one question: seems to me vertical integration raises a set of issues governments, particularly communications industry regulators, and telecoms policy academics (policy/economists) have been dealing with for years. Has the working group undertaken outreach to GAC for advice as regulatory experts (not GAC advice per se) and to telecoms economics and policy experts?
