The State Department will lead a multiagency U.S. delegation to Moscow beginning Tuesday for talks with Russian communications officials on information and communication technology issues.
Philip Verveer, the State Department's coordinator for international communications and information policy, will be joined by FCC Commissioner Michael Copps and National Telecommunications and Information Administration chief Lawrence Strickling and other officials from those agencies for the roundtable discussion on ICT issues, the first such discussion since 2004, the State Department said in a statement.
"The delegation's mission complements and supports the U.S.-Russia Bilateral Presidential Commission with the goal of beginning a dialogue on a range of topics including broadband, Internet governance, cybersecurity, spectrum management, the analog to digital TV transition and coordination of positions for upcoming meetings at the International Telecommunication Union," the statement said. The talks are set to end Friday.
