The Future of Telecommunications
Telecommunications is at a crossroads. Local telephone companies, threatened by cable and
wireless, are beginning to offer fiber to the home to compete for video services. Voice
over IP challenges established structures of pricing and taxation. Wi-Fi may limit cellular
to voice and short message services. Yet the demand for telecommunication services continues
to increase.

This symposium is in honor of the 150 years that Brooklyn's Polytechnic University
has served to educate the engineers that have driven technology forward along its
remarkable route.
From the system of cables on the Brooklyn bridge to the fiber optic cables spanning the earth, graduates of Polytechnic have played a major role in creating and implementing the technologies that bring our world ever closer together.
