ANNOUNCEMENT:
25th Annual Telecom Policy Research Conference
Alexandria, Virginia
September 27-29, 1997
See http://www.si.umich.edu/~prie/tprc/ for full details and
registration forms.
We are pleased to invite you to attend the Twenty-Fifth Annual
Telecommunications Policy Research Conference.
This past year has once again been a notable one for telecommunications
policy developments! As you can see from the enclosed schedule,
TPRC 97 will afford you the opportunity to catch up on recent policy
developments as well as current research.
We are especially excited to be celebrating the 25th convening of TPRC
this year. These have been a remarkable 25 years for telecommunications
policy. We will have some activities especially designed to commemorate
this occasion. We are also offering the largest program ever, and
expect record attendance. If you haven't been coming every year,
or if you have never been before, we strongly urge you to attend this
year.
The Preliminary Conference Program is included in this message.
You may want to refer to the TPRC Web Site for comprehensive information
about the conference:
http://www.si.umich.edu/~prie/tprc/
Due to the fact that TPRC has a limited number of sleeping rooms
available at the Radisson, it will be to your advantage to register
early. You will also be able to save the $100.00 late fee if you send
in your registration form and payment prior to September 1, 1997.
We look forward to seeing you at the conference in Alexandria, Virginia.
Should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to
