The 39th Research Conference on Communication, Information, and Internet Policy
Hosted by George Mason University Law School, Arlington, Virginia

www.tprc.org
TPRC is an annual conference on communication, information and
internet policy that convenes international and interdisciplinary
researchers and policymakers from academia, industry, government, and
nonprofit organizations. Its purpose is to present original research
relevant to policy making, share the knowledge requirements of
practitioners, and engage in discussion on current policy issues. The
conference program consists of presentations selected from submitted
paper abstracts, student papers and panel submissions.
TPRC is now soliciting abstracts of papers, panel proposals, and
student papers for presentation at the 2011 conference, to be held
September 23-25, 2011 at the George Mason University Law School, in
Arlington, Virginia. These presentations should report current
theoretical or empirical research relevant to communication and
information policy, and may be from any disciplinary perspective – the
sole criterion is research quality. Themes of particular interest
include, but are not limited to:
1. Network Competition
2. Broadband Deployment and Adoption
3. Wireless Communications
4. Innovation and Entrepreneurship
5. Media, New and Old
6. Intellectual Property
