Professor Steven Wildman, Michigan State University Professor of Information Studies, has been named as the FCC’s newest Chief Economist. In December Wildman spoke at NCTA Connects, a new event series at NCTA which hosts national thought leaders discussing issues that are impacting the media and communications industries.

Here at NCTA, we’ve been spending a lot of time lately discussing usage based pricing, or UBP. There’s a fair amount of confusion out there as to what UBP really is, how it would affect broadband service, and what it would do to the average American’s household budget.

For those who missed last Friday’s NCTA Connects, here’s a full video of the event.

This morning, we hosted the first event of a new briefing series called NCTA Connects,   which will regularly showcase national thought leaders discussing issues that are impacting the media and communications industries.
