TPRC Presents
The 39th Research Conference on Communication, Information, and Internet Policy
Hosted by George Mason University Law School, Arlington, Virginia
Friday, September 23 through Sunday, September 25, 2011

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
