This is the first event of 2026 for Com/Sig + MTT/AP.

 

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is the federal agency responsible for regulating our networks and communications, including broadband, infrastructure, space, and media. In January 2025, Olivia Trusty was nominated by President Donald J. Trump to serve as FCC commissioner. After being confirmed by the U.S. Senate, Commissioner Trusty began her term in June 2025. Alongside her peers, Commissioner Trusty will be instrumental in advancing the resiliency of existing and future networks, the future of media, and efforts that ensure communications accessibility to all Americans, especially as Congress begins to engage in universal service reform.

On February 4, the Center for Technology Innovation at Brookings will host a fireside chat with FCC Commissioner Trusty to discuss her outlook on the agency in 2026, the priorities of the agency, and the aspirations for communications policies under her leadership.

This event will be open to attend in person or watch online. Online viewers can submit questions via e-mail to events@brookings.edu.
