<p>Hello everyone,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>I wanted to make everyone aware of TPRC 2008 (Telecommunications Policy
Research Conference). While oriented more towards policy, they welcome
historical work. In recent years they have also become increasingly interested
in ICTs with the phenomenon of convergence. I presented here last year and it
was a very productive conference leading me to meet some of the people I was
writing about.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><i>TPRC2008 announces Call for Papers<o:p></o:p></i></p>
<p><i>TPRC is a non-profit organization that hosts an annual forum for scholars
and decision-makers in the fields of telecommunications and information policy.
The purpose of the conference is to acquaint policy-makers with the best of
recent research, and to familiarize researchers with the knowledge needs of
policy makers. <o:p></o:p></i></p>
<p><b><i>The 36th Research Conference on Communication, Information and
Internet Policy will be held September 26 - September 28, 2008 at The National
Center for Technology & Law, George Mason University School of Law,
Arlington, VA.</i></b><i> <o:p></o:p></i></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><i>The Program Committee of TPRC is pleased to announce the
Call for Papers for this year’s conference. Information can be
found at <a href="http://tprcweb.com/node/32">Call for Papers</a> on our
website. You will also find information for the Student Paper Competition<o:p></o:p></i></p>
