DEAR MEMBERS :

This fall is promising to be an active one at the FCBA, offer-ing a combination of luncheons, receptions, CLEs, andbrown bag educational sessions. The first luncheon of theyear on October 2nd will feature a panel of private equityinvestors active in the communications arena, who will fill usin on how they look at the telecom and media industries andthe role private equity firms play in the market. On October10th, the International Telecommunications Committee isorganizing a panel introducing telecom attaches from foreignembassies, followed by a reception at the spectacular new House of Sweden on theGeorgetown waterfront. The annual reception to meet and greet FCC and NTIABureau and Office Chiefs will take place on October 25th.

There will also be full slate of educational sessions offered by FCBA committeesand chapters throughout the fall – and it’s about to get even easier to sign up forthese events. FCBA members will soon be able to enjoy the convenience of regis-tering for events online, thanks to software upgrades currently being implementedand tested by the FCBA office. We’ll soon be e mailing around information on howto use this new functionality.

This year’s ad hoc Speakers Committee, comprised of Ruth Milkman, Henry Riveraand Bryan Tramont, planned the October luncheon, and are working on futurebreakfast and luncheon events for this year. I know they would welcome your ideasfor speakers or topics. I have also asked Anna Gomez, Mark Schneider and RyanWallach to serve as an ad hoc Sponsorship Committee, and they will be coordinat-ing sponsor outreach efforts for FCBA events.

As a former FCC staffer, a focus for me this year will be on continuing the FCBA’sefforts to ensure that our activities are as relevant and accessible as possible to ourGovernment members. To that end, the FCBA provides substantial discounts formembership dues and prices for attending CLEs, receptions and other events, as wellas scholarships to the Annual Seminar. This year the Executive Committee hasalready implemented an additional CLE discount for Government lawyers that havegraduated recently, and we are considering ways to expand the successful scholarshipprogram for the Annual Seminar, which will be in nearby Cambridge Maryland nextMay. I would like to do some brainstorming in the near future about ideas forimproving the FCBA’s services for Government members, and I encourage those ofyou in Government to contact me with any ideas you have along these lines.

I look forward to seeing you all at this fall’s events.

Diane J. Cornell

September 5, 2007“Taking Stock of theAntitrustModernizationCommission Report”

University of Colorado School of Law incooperation with the FCBA RockyMountain Chapter

Wednesday, September 5, 2007, from3:00 to 8:00 p.m. at the University ofColorado School of Law in Denver, CO.This past spring, the AntitrustModernization Commission issued a449 page report addressing the state ofantitrust law and practice. In general,the report highlighted that the antitrustlaws remain effectively positioned toaddress anticompetitive conduct.Notably, the report rejected calls for newstrategies or institutions to address hightechnology markets. It did, however,highlight a number ofrecommendations related to theintersection of antitrust and intellectualproperty law, including ones related topatent law reform and conduct relatedto standard setting bodies.

In line with its generally approving toneof current antitrust enforcement, thereport did not call for any significantreforms of merger review, turning awayan array of criticism of current practice.First, some commentators havesuggested that the agencies abuse theirleverage under the Hart Scott RodinoAct to obtain regulatory oversight ordemand relief that they would nototherwise be able to achieve in court.Second, others have complained that

the antitrust authorities have allowedmergers to proceed without imposingeffective remedies and that the mergerremedies process is often a black box.Third, some have suggested that theimpact of innovation and potentialentry are overly discounted by thecurrent Merger Guidelines and that theauthorities should have a greatertolerance of mergers than traditionalantitrust metrics would call intoquestion.

This conference will evaluate thejudgments of the AntitrustModernization Commission report,examining its basic conclusion thatthere are no fundamental flaws inmodern antitrust law and practice aswell as its various suggested for reform.To do so, we will bring together some ofthe Commissioners who evaluated thestate of antitrust law, current and formerantitrust enforcers, and a number ofleading antitrust practitioners. Inparticular, we will examine the report’sconclusions within three broadheadings—Rethinking Merger Review;Antitrust in the New Economy; and theAntitrust/IP Interface.

According to Time magazine, theperson of 2006 was “you,” reflecting itsjudgment that the millions of bloggers,music remixers, amateur video creatorsof YouTube fame, wikipedians, andFlickr photographers were mainstreamfare.

phenomenon. They also realize that thisphenomenon is no passing fad, withonly 3% of executives in a recent surveylabeling “social media” as a temporaryphenomenon. More interestingly, two-thirds of those executives were“positive” that their firms would makemoney off of such media, but only aquarter of them had any idea of howthey would do so.

This conference will analyze thegrowing trends related to user generatedcontent. In so doing, it will begin withthe question of what new technologiesare emerging and how they willtransform traditional media and usagepatterns. Secondly, it will ask whatbusiness models will emerge—both fornew upstarts and established mediacompanies—to turn this phenomenoninto profitable ventures. Will, forexample, established firms incorporateuser-generated content into theirofferings, offer the rights to theirtraditional content for others to remix,or both. Finally, it will examine the legalissues that arise in connection with thisphenomenon, ranging from intellectualproperty issues to questions ofconsumer privacy to calls for regulationto protect children and guard againstdefamation in this emerging medium.

McKenna’s WagonSeeking Volunteersfor September 23rdMcKenna’s Wagon is a mobile soup andsandwich wagon that goes “on location”to deliver food to the needy. For thosewho have volunteered, it has been awonderful experience and a great wayto help the needy in the D.C.community. This is an especially goodexperience for the teens and pre-teensamong us who do not have a fullappreciation of the many privileges theyenjoy. Community service credits arealso available.

The Wagon is a white van that is loadedup with sandwiches, snacks and soup.We meet at Martha’s Table at 4:45 p.m.in comfortable clothes and shoes.Martha’s Table is located in a yellowbuilding at 2114 Fourteenth Street, NW,in the District, near the intersection of14th and U Streets. On-street parking isavailable.

Upon arrival we get assignments (someof us will distribute snacks andsandwiches, others will serve soup), andput on aprons before we depart in thevan to 5th and New York Ave., NW(near the new Convention Center). Weare driven by one of our experiencedvolunteers and the trip to distributionlocation takes about 10-15 minutes.

We serve about 30-75 people per visitincluding a few mothers who come forfood for their families. The area is wellpatrolled by police. The fooddistribution is conducted in an efficient,calm and orderly fashion and many of

the people we serve are quiteappreciative of our efforts. Once weserve all of the food, we do a clean up ofthe immediate area. Total time for thedistribution takes about one hour andwe usually return to Martha’s Table byor before 6:30 p.m.

We would love to have you join us onone of our upcoming food runs whichare always on the 4th Sunday of themonth. If you are able to volunteer onSeptember 23rd or for a future date,please contact Marlo Go atMGo@ctia.org or Tom VanWazer attvanwazer@sidley.com.
