What: A public workshop to explore possible anticompetitive efforts to restrict competition on the Internet. While much of this regulation and conduct undoubtedly has pro-competitive and pro-consumer rationales, the restrictions may impose costs on consumers that, according to some estimates, may exceed $15 billion annually. The complete agenda, including a list of scheduled panelists and their affiliations, is available at www.ftc.gov/news-events/events-calendar/2002/10/possible-anticompetitive-efforts-restrict-competition-internet
Where: Federal Trade Commission
600 Pennsylvania Avenue N.W. - Room 432
Washington, D.C. 20580
