On 18 February 2021, NERA Managing Director Dr. Christian Dippon will speak on a panel titled “Pandemic Impacts on the Utility Business” at the 48th Annual PURC Conference. Since 1974, this annual conference has served as a neutral forum for dialogue about issues facing utility service providers, policymakers, and regulatory agencies. This year, the conference theme is Resilience and Recovery in Regulation: What Is the Pandemic Teaching Us?

Dr. Dippon will offer insights on broadband and mobile wireless speeds before and during the pandemic. He will consider what has been learned about the US regulatory system and its adaptability and how those lessons from broadband providers may translate to utilities and their operators.
