The ICT Study Group is a focal point for policy research on information and communication and the technology that facilitates them. The ICT Study Group conducts, synthesizes and disseminates multi-disciplinary research, sponsors forums and speakers, and provides objective analysis for current policy debates. Participating units in the ICT Study Group include the Center for Advanced Communications Policy (www.cacp.gatech.edu) and the Internet and Public Policy Project (www.IP3.gatech.edu), all located in the School of Public Policy at Georgia Tech.
In Fall 2007 the ICT Study Group held a series of brown bag talks introducing the diverse work of the group. The topics included “Sandy Springs and Dunwoody: New Models for Citizen Communications?”; “Accessibility in Municipal Wireless Networks: System Implementation and Policy Considerations”; "Legitimacy and Global Public Policy: The Case of the Internet"; and “The FCC vs. the Industry: managing public safety emergency communications and commercial wireless broadband deployment." The series will resume in Spring 2008, all ideas for topics and speakers are welcome. The brown bag talks are open to the public.
