FTC Announces New Sessions of its Hearings on Competition and Consumer Protection in the 21st Century

Hearings in March and April will cover broadband markets, consumer privacy, merger retrospectives, international engagement, and will include a roundtable with State Attorneys General

The Federal Trade Commission Hearings schedule sets new dates for the two previously scheduled sessions – broadband and consumer privacy – canceled due to the recent lapse in government funding. The Hearings will also include sessions on international issues in competition, consumer protection and privacy, and the analysis of merger retrospectives, as well as a State Attorneys General roundtable.
