Broadband Development Conference
Comcast, SVP for Public Policy
David Don serves as Senior Vice President for Public Policy at Comcast Corporation. He is responsible for developing and implementing the company’s strategies before federal and state governments. David has worked extensively on public policy and spectrum allocation for over 25 years, and he often represents Comcast in public fora examining the most relevant issues of the day.
David joined Comcast in 2006 from the law firm of Willkie Farr & Gallagher, he received a B.S. from the Georgetown University School of Foreign Service and a JD from Georgetown University Law Center with honors. He served on the FCC’s Broadband Deployment Advisory Committee (BDAC) and chairs the Broadband Internet Technical Advisory Group (BITAG).
The Federal Communications Commission is playing a large role in the future of universal connectivity, with a current focus on aggressively expanding mid-band spectrum for 5G/6G, streamlining satellite-to-smartphone connectivity to eliminate dead zones, and fostering competition in Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) and mobility by moving underutilized airwaves into the hands of providers. This session will explore how the FCC is marking the 30-year anniversary of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 with sweeping change — and how these policy decisions will set the stage for the next generation of innovation and investment.
