Navigating Policy and Investment Shifts in Media, Communications and Infrastructure Under a New Administration

June 11, 2025

Event summary

The media, communications and related infrastructure sectors are facing a pivotal moment. The new Trump administration, anticipated shifts at the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), major funding initiatives like the Broadband Equity, Access and Deployment (BEAD) Program, and dynamic market forces are creating both significant opportunities and complex risks for investors and operators.

Join Cooley for an exclusive webinar designed for the banking and investment community and C-suite executives. We will delve into:

  • Policy headwinds and tailwinds: Analyzing the potential impact of the Trump administration and a Brendan Carr-led FCC on technology, media and telecommunications (TMT) policy. We’ll focus on deregulation trends, spectrum allocation, media ownership rules and what these shifts mean for your investments.
  • The BEAD Program: Understanding the $42.45 billion opportunity under potential administration influence, state-level implementation, the fiber versus technology neutrality debate and the impact on private capital. 
  • M&A landscape: Examining current trends and strategic considerations in digital infrastructure and the evolving media sector, considering the potential impact of a deregulatory environment and distinct investor classes’ impact on TMT deals.

Gain critical insights to navigate the evolving policy changes in the media, communications and related infrastructure market sectors.

We look forward to having you join the discussion!
