Wednesday, June 14, 2023 – Unpacking the CHIPS and Science Act
The CHIPS and Science Act provides $280 billion in funding for domestic research and manufacturing of semiconductors — key components of consumer electronics, military systems and countless other applications. Amid complex supply chain constraints and an increasingly hostile technological race with China, will this ambitious legislation prove successful?
Panelists for the June 14 preview event:
- Martijn Rasser, Managing Director, Datenna
- Jacob Feldgoise, Data Research Analyst, Center for Security and Emerging Technology, Georgetown University
- Hannah Kelley, Research Assistant, Technology and National Security Program at the Center for a New American Security
- Drew Clark (moderator), Editor and Publisher, Broadband Breakfast
This Broadband Breakfast Live Online session will preview the upcoming Made in America Summit, taking place on Tuesday, June 27 in Washington.
Don’t miss the recent Broadband Breakfast Report, “Impacts of the CHIPS and Science Act of 2022”:
The increasingly hostile technology race between the United States and China now revolves around the key to the modern economy: semiconductors. Semiconductors are the microprocessors that power smartphones and washing machines and automobiles. Indeed, these chips are needed in advanced weaponry and artificial intelligence. That places them at the focal point of international tension.
Simply put, semiconductors are the world’s new oil.
And, as both President Joe Biden and Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo have been quick to note, American ingenuity invented the semiconductor. But today, the U.S. currently produces only 12 percent of the world’s supply, none of which are the most advanced. This is down from 40 percent in 1990.
The technology and machinery needed to create the most advanced semiconductor chips is so complex and sophisticated that the world’s supply is manufactured by only a handful of companies.

Broadband Breakfast on February 7, 2024 – Social Media in the Courts
The Supreme Court ruling on state social media laws could shape broader tech regulation

Wednesday, February 7, 2024 – Social Media in the Courts
Two cases that could set precedents for social media regulation are heading to the Supreme Court after lower courts issued divergent rulings. These center around Florida and Texas laws that bar platforms from suppressing users’ posts based on their opinions. With the high court poised to decide whether such statutes infringe on companies’ First Amendment rights, broader debates are simmering about overhauling long-standing legal shields for online networking sites. What exactly is at stake here? What ripple effects might these cases have on oversight and accountability across the social media landscape?

Broadband Breakfast on Wednesday, January 31, 2024 – Congress, Net Neutrality and Privacy
Sharply divided views pour in following the FCC’s proposal to reinstate the once-scrapped regulation

Wednesday, January 31, 2024 – Congress, Net Neutrality and Privacy
The battle over net neutrality rages on as sharply divided views pour in following the FCC’s proposal to reinstate the once-scrapped regulation. In recent pitches, the Democratic-led agency has touted classifying broadband providers as Title II common carriers rather than information services – the crux of the net neutrality debate – would also safeguard customer privacy and public safety. But this would grant the FCC oversight powers that some argue fall outside its remit. What does the internet landscape look like presently, especially after Congress just pumped billions of dollars into expanding broadband access?
