About TPI Shorts

TPI Shorts is a resource for policymakers, analysts, and other parties who need to quickly digest what is happening in technology policy and regulation that may affect the digital economy. Topics explore Congressional legislation, proposed regulations at the Federal Communications Commission and Federal Trade Commission, and other relevant digital policy issues.

The goal of TPI Shorts is to provide an overview of the relevant tech policy or regulation and framework for thinking through the economic questions the proposal raises.

Criteria for selecting what topics are covered in TPI Shorts comes from a few sources:

  • Bills related to technology, telecommunications, or evidence-based policy and likely to pass

  • Topics included in agendas for the FTC and FCC meetings
