Podcast appearances and mentions of roslyn layton

We were delighted to talk to our good friend Dr Roslyn Layton talking about how we can ensure that the Mobile and Broadband Industries become attractive for investment.  We are in the sorry state where the long-term Capital Return in the Mobile and Broadband industries are effectively zero or negative. In comparison the Big Tech Industries who are the main users of these Networks have returns up to 9,000% in the long term.  And they are resisting any change in the Telecoms Business Model, a model designed for different times. The Regulatory environment for Mobile and Broadband companies in Europe is not supportive, mergers and shared costs are being resisted by Regulators.  Europe is missing between €50 to €200 Billion in under-investment in its networks today. Roslyn argues that we need flexible two-sided business models where the Consumer of the Data and the Originator of the Data contribute to the Investment in the Network.  Fixing this issue is also one of the most Humanitarian things we can do for developing and poorer markets. Thanks to Roslyn for being a great guest and analyzing the biggest issue and most important issue in Telecoms today.   Roslyn can be contacted via: https://www.linkedin.com/in/roslynlayton/   Producer - Pat Flynn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paddyflynn/   Music credits to the relevant artist and composers.

Almost everyone agrees that an Internet connection is essential for full participation in modern American life. That's why our government is spending huge sums to build networks in rural areas and help low-income Americans pay their bills or connect for free. As the burden increases on taxpayers, is it time to rethink how we subsidize broadband? Should Big Tech companies like Google, Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft help foot the bill for the infrastructure needed to use their services? Or should Americans pay additional fees on their Internet bill to help other Americans get online? What other business models might help pay for infrastructure going forward? Evan is joined by Roslyn Layton, Senior Vice President of Strand Consult and visiting researcher at Aalborg University. She is also a nonresident senior fellow at Foundation for American Innovation. You can read her report on broadband cost recovery and her other work at StrandConsult.dk. You can check out the Sandvine report on Internet traffic referenced on the episode here.

We're delighted to have Roslyn Layton, who is an expert on Regulation and Strategy, Roslyn has studied numerous countries and has looked at the actual outcomes from Regulatory Regimes as opposed to the desired outcomes. Roslyn puts forward the idea that that rigorous regulation is reducing consumer choice of services and price points, in Europe in particular. Roslyn is a very clear and persuasive communicator and I found her ideas and examples to be very interesting and challenging to my assumptions. Finally, as always we end on a personal note and Roslyn nominates a classic Rock n' Roll song that we all know.   On a business note: I'll be at the Mobile Ecosystem Forum event in Dublin on the 18th and 19th of April.  The event is free and is both Live and Online and you can access the Registration Link here and on Linked In.  I'll be appearing on a Fraud Panel talking about the Threats of the False Positive kindly sponsored by Lanck Telecom and moderated by one and only James Williams. https://mobileecosystemforum.com/events_/mef-connects-business-messaging-3/ I look forward to seeing you there.

What is net neutrality and why is it damaging? In this episode of the IEA Podcast, IEA Head of Public Policy Matthew Lesh discusses this with Senior Vice President at Strand Consult and Senior Contributor to Forbes Magazine, Dr Roslyn Layton. Last year, Matthew authored, 'Expanding the Web: The case against net neutrality', which can be read here: https://iea.org.uk/publications/expanding-the-web-the-case-against-net-neutrality/

The guys finally make it back into the studio and are delighted to be joined by Roslyn Layton of Strand Consult, who is an expert on telecoms public policy. She was in town for an Ofcom consultation on net neutrality, so they start with a deep dive into that topic, including its many definitions and interpretations. An overlapping trending topic is the issue of whether the biggest video content producers should pay a ‘fair contribution' to the cost of running networks, so they conclude with a discussion of that.

We had an opportunity to sit down with Roslyn Layton and discussed the national security and political implications of the United States outsourcing its manufacturing of pharmaceuticals and electronics to China. Layton informed me that state governments are using Chinese-made equipment that is banned for use at the federal government level over technology and privacy concerns. There currently is no continuity between the levels of government that states can look to for a list of potentially hazardous technical equipment that is vulnerable to cyber intrusion. Because of this, equipment is being used by state-run agencies like the Department of Elections and others that collect large amounts of personal data from their citizens that are at a high risk of being collected and handed over to the Chinese regime. ⭕️ Sign up for our NEWSLETTER and stay in touch

The 2021 National Lawyers Convention took place November 11-13, 2021 at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, DC. The topic of the conference was "Public and Private Power: Preserving Freedom or Preventing Harm?". This panel covered "Federalism and Broadband Spending: Finding the Right Approach."The Covid-19 pandemic accelerated the desire for increased—indeed, universal—broadband access. This panel will focus on the infusion of federal and state funding into broadband networks. The panel will explore the ways in which states and private actors can play a role in ubiquitous deployment, the appropriate role of the FCC and other government agencies, including the USDA, NTIA, and DOE, how the FCC’s Universal Service programs can continue to facilitate deployment and adoption, and the terms that should accompany government funding distributed through states and federal agencies.Featuring:Hon.

On Thursday, September 23, from 12:30 – 1:30 PM ET, as part of NSI's Tech Innovation and American National Security project, NSI hosted the second panel of a four-part series examining the national security implications of antitrust challenges at home and abroad. This second event took a look at how U.S.-allied governments are addressing antitrust questions related to the tech industry as well as the implications of such efforts for American and allied national security.Our panel features Dr. Roslyn Layton, Professor Jan Rybnicek, and Dr. Hal Singer, and was moderated by NSI Founder and Executive Director, Jamil N. Jaffer.European governments, including Germany, the United Kingdom, France, and Ireland, are increasingly raising antitrust challenges against U.S. tech companies causing friction between our nations and potentially undermining our collective national security posture, particularly relative to key nation-state competitors like China. This event examined how European nation-states, in exercising their own regulatory authorities to regulate, dissolve, and monitor companies, are moving forward with laws targeting American companies, as well as how these new regulations potentially impact these companies as well as their impact on American and allied national security. The panel also explored the critical role that U.S. and U.S. allied joint bodies, as well as tech industry, can play in promoting a democratic value-based global digital ecosystem to counter digital authoritarianism and the importance for allied national security of maintaining relative unity amongst the allies on innovation policy.

In this episode, Dr. Roslyn Layton and Dr. James Lewis discuss how to control the proliferation of technologies for military use with a special focus on China. Our guests explain the history of US export policy regarding advanced technology, noting the delicate balance between opportunities for private enterprise and the needs of national security. They describe the Wassenar Agreement and its impact on current US advanced technology exports to China. Dr. Layton argues in favor of US designation of companies as military-end-users in China as one method to prevent US technology from being transferred to China’s military. Dr. Lewis analyzes China’s progress in its semiconductor industry, noting that China is still dependent on Western technology. Our guests also interpret China’s actions in retaliation to international technology export restrictions. Lastly, our guests evaluate how the Trump administration has acted in its approach to China and recommend actions the incoming Biden administration should take.    Dr. Roslyn Layton is a visiting researcher at Aalborg University Center for Communication, Media, and Information Technologies and Senior Vice President at Strand Consult.

Donald Trump var langt bagud i målingerne, men alligevel blev USA-valget tæt. Hvordan kunne det ske? Og hvordan har Demokraterne og Republikanerne ført valgkamp i år? Altinget samler op på det amerikanske valg.Op til USA-valget viste langt størstedelen af meningsmålingerne fra USA, at Joe Biden højst sandsynligt ville vinde valget - og mange af dem spekulerede endda i en storsejr.Endnu er det for tidligt at sige, om Joe Biden tabte eller vandt - men det er sikkert at sige, at det i hvert fald ikke blev en storsejr til demokraten.På hvilken måde har de Donald Trump og Joe Biden ført valgkamp, og hvad er værd at notere sig fra valget?Det ser Altinget Ajour nærmere på i dagens udsendelse, hvor der i studiet er besøg af tidligere rådgiver for tre demokrater i Senatet, Jesper Packert Pedersen, Roslyn Layton, der var rådgiver for Trump, da han vandt valget i 2016 - samt Peter Christian Brøndum, der har skrevet en bog om amerikansk politik og senest rapporteret fra det såkaldte rust-bælte i USA.Altingets magasinredaktør, Esben Schjørring, er vært.

Roslyn Layton er ph.d., arbejder i Danmark, men vokset op i en demokratisk familie i det amerikanske Midvesten og siden 2016 republikaner- og Trump-støtte. Nu er hun i Ajour-studiet for at fortælle om, hvad danskerne og europæerne ikke har forstået.Der skulle en vild præsident til, der havde viljen til de beskidte hænders byrde, for at ændre USAs og Europas forhold til Kina. Og noget lignende skulle der til, før traditionelle arbejderklassevælgere følte sig selv og deres værdier repræsenteret i Washington.Sådan lyder analysen fra Roslyn Layton. Hun er herboende amerikaner igennem ti år. Men før det voksede hun op i en Demokratisk familie i det amerikanske Midvesten, har arbejdet med tech i Silicon Valley - og siden 2016 Republikaner og - ikke alene Trumpvælger, men - rådgiver for ham og hans regering.Altingets magasinredaktør, Esben Schjørring, har inviteret hende i studiet for at høre, hvad Trump egentlig har gennemført af politik, og hvad hans arv bliver - både når det kommer til det amerikanske samfund og Det Republikanske parti.

On this episode of “She Thinks,” we talk big tech and privacy. With a bipartisan group of Attorneys General across the nation announcing an antitrust investigation into Google, we consider what it means for companies like Facebook and Amazon to bear federal regulations. Will it stifle competition? Or are these companies so large that they’ve already pushed out competitors? It’s a complex issue, but fortunately we have Roslyn Layton to break it down for us. Roslyn Layton is a visiting scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, where she focuses on evidence-based policy for information, communications, and digital technology industries. Using empirical methods, she assesses regulations and policies for digitally connected domains such as mobile wireless, telecom, cable, internet, among others. Dr. Layton is also a visiting researcher at Aalborg University in Copenhagen Denmark and a vice president at Strand Consult.

To kick off the year, MIT’s Technology Review did something they’ve done every year since 2001: they picked “10 Breakthrough Technologies” to watch in the coming years. Those breakthroughs varied from 3D metal printing to artificial embryos to ubiquitous and affordable artificial intelligence and everything in between. We’re not going to go through the list and rank how those predictions turned out, but we are going to bring on our own technology policy experts to get their take on the biggest tech developments of 2018, why they matter, and what to watch for in 2019. Here to wax nostalgic about 2018 and peer into the future of 2019 we have a couple of experts in tech policy: We’re joined on the phone by Roslyn Layton, visiting scholar with the American Enterprise Institute Jennifer Huddleston, research fellow here at Mercatus Check out mercatus.org and The Bridge for our latest research, publications, and podcast episodes.

5G not only offers exponentially faster wireless downloads, but it is the key to unlocking a number of other emerging technologies like the internet of things, smart cities, and fleets of self-driving cars. Yet 5G is fantastically expensive and so has incentivized a controversial corporate merger between Sprint and T-Mobile in an attempt to keep pace with AT&T and Verizon.This week, Paul is joined by tech policy expert Roslyn Layton as they discuss the implications of 5G, the Sprint / T-Mobile merger, and how we should understand property rights and spectrum auctions in an accelerating digital age. What is 5G and how is it different than what we currently have? Will machines use the 5G internet? How is 5G intelligent? Where will 5G go first? What do ‘robot bees’ have to do with 5G connection?

On May 16th, the US Senate voted to repeal a Federal Communications Commission rule that was itself a repeal of the FCC’s 2015 rule intended to change the way the internet is regulated. The double repeal is now awaiting sign off from the House and the President, neither of which seem likely to support it. Still, the legislation has renewed the debate over ‘net neutrality,’ and how policymakers should regulate the internet. Here to unpack those issues are three experts on internet policy issues: Brent Skorup, Senior Research Fellow at the Mercatus Center, specializing in technology policy Roslyn Layton, Visiting Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, who focuses on telecommunications, internet regulation, and privacy issues Brendan Bordelon, tech and cybersecurity reporter at the National Journal Download this episode and subscribe to the Mercatus Policy Download on Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts.  Follow Chad on Twitter @ChadMReese.

What do NASA, the Food and Drug Administration, and the Federal Communications Commission have that the State Department lacks? Authorization by Congress. The State Department has not been re-authorized since 2003. The National Weather Service has been on autopilot since 1993. Roslyn Layton, a visiting scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, argued appropriations without authorizations are no mere administrative detail. They let Congress avoid the crucial function of providing orderly policy. She discussed the matter on Federal Drive with Tom Temin.

The Internet has dynamically changed the way we live. It touches every sector of the U.S. and global economies. For two decades, it flourished in an environment devoid of heavy-handed regulatory oversight, resulting in $1.5 trillion in investments by Internet Service Providers. However, the FCC dramatically changed course in 2015 when it reclassified broadband as an old style utility regulated under Title II of the Communications Act of 1934. Earlier this year, the FCC initiated a new proceeding, Restoring Internet Freedom, that proposes to return to the classification of broadband service as a Title I information service. But the legal and policy debate continues with passionate supporters on both sides.Moving forward, how should these tensions be addressed? How should the FCC move forward with its Internet Freedom proceeding? Is there a legislative or regulatory fix? Is there a role for other administrative agencies? Should so called "edge companies" (like Google and Facebook) be regulated differently from Internet Service Providers? Today's panel will explore these and other issues.Hon.

A number of regulatory advocates assert that Title II of the Communications Act, enforced by the Federal Communications Commission, is the only way to protect net neutrality. Research by Roslyn Layton, PhD, who has studied net neutrality in 50 countries, suggests otherwise. Moreover, a layered model using existing antitrust and consumer protection laws enforced by the Federal Trade Commission, Department of Justice, and State Attorneys General may well provide more effective and less costly regulation. Alex Okuliar, formerly an advisor to FTC Commissioner (now Acting Chairman) Ohlhausen, interviewed Roslyn Layton about her research on these issues and the layered model of enforcement. -- Featuring: Roslyn Layton, Visiting Fellow, American Enterprise Institute and Moderator: Alex Okuliar, Partner, Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLPAlexander Okuliar Partner, Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP.

What are we losing by pretending that mobile broadband is a noncompetitive market that needs to be tightly managed by a Washington-based regulator? We can't know that in the US because we only have the market we have. But data from other countries suggests that we're not seeing the explosion in mobile apps development that we should expect.

Companies have many ways of enticing and incentivizing customers, including through coupons. At the grocery store, this practice is uncontroversial. But in the digital world, zero-rating, sponsored data, and “Internet coupons” have caused an uproar, as critics say they violate net neutrality. Evan is joined by Roslyn Layton, a Ph.D fellow at Aalborg University in Copenhagen. They discuss the debate over zero-rating, its impact on the world, and the prospects for regulation.

Panelists will examine the impact of the FCC's Open Internet Order and reclassification of broadband as a public utility and explore possible alternative regulatory regimes. What will the courts do? What should Congress do? What should a new Administration make its first broadband priorities? ‎With the convergence of technologies, should the current platform-specific regulation be replaced with a more flexible, service-based regulatory scheme? How could such regulations impact developing business models and evolving technologies? How is the US faring against the rest of the world in the quest for broadband leadership? -- This panel was presented at the 2015 National Lawyers Convention on Thursday, November 12, 2015, at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, DC. -- Featuring: Mr. Earl W.
