The event is the third and final instalment of a series marking the 250th anniversary of American Independence and 150 years of American telecommunications.
It will examine milestones from the Apple II, Ma Bell's breakup and ARPANET's transition to the commercial internet through the web, smartphones and generative AI.
Broadband Breakfast said experts will debate innovation cycles, regulatory lag and policy pressures, including the 1996 Telecommunications Act, net neutrality battles and the rise of large language models.
How will the lessons from the breakup of Ma Bell and past telecom shifts shape the response to today's AI-driven disruptions?
With billions invested in broadband and AI, when will everyday Americans see real improvements in connectivity and digital opportunity?
Will new AI governance frameworks genuinely prevent 'stack capture,' or will tech giants consolidate even more control over telecommunications and digital infrastructure?
