Professor Susan Crawford and an expert panel will discuss her book, “Captive Audience: The Telecom Industry and Monopoly Power in the New Gilded Age.” The book describes an internet service market with Comcast and a handful of other cable companies each dominating large geographic regions for wired service and with AT&T and Verizon dominating wireless service. Dominant cable companies also control important content, so there is potential to throttle independent providers of television content such as movies and sports.

 

 

This teleconference is sponsored by the Antitrust and Consumer Law Section, in cosponsorship with the American Antitrust Institute.

**This program is offered in a live teleconference format.
