Hello everyone,

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.

TPRC2008 announces Call for Papers

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.

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.

The Program Committee of TPRC is pleased to announce the Call for Papers for this year’s conference.  Information can be found at Call for Papers on our website. You will also find information for the Student Paper Competition
