Jeff Rosen Serves as Keynote Speaker on the State of Regulation at the 2024 FSF Policy Conference

On March 12, 2024, Cravath’s Jeffrey A. Rosen delivered keynote remarks at the Free State Foundation’s Sixteenth Annual Policy Conference at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. The event convened senior officials and prominent experts from the Federal Communications Commission, other government agencies, industry, academia and think tanks to discuss communications and internet policy, competition policy, regulatory policy, and other law and policy issues. During his keynote, entitled “The Pen and the Phone, and the Regulatory Pendulum Problem,” Mr. Rosen examined the regulatory dynamic that results from the ability of federal agencies to achieve policy goals through regulation and the subsequent challenges as later administrations remove such rules, and then later ones restore them, because agency rules do not necessarily have the same durability as legislation.
