This week, we’re taking a look at what the recent U.S. election means for telecom and tech policy in the years ahead.  



Donald Trump just won a second term in the White House, but this go around could be very different from the first thanks in part to the entrance of new key characters - like Elon Musk and Robert Kennedy – into the equation.  



To sift through the implications of another Trump term on telecom and tech policy at the FCC, FTC and beyond, we spoke with Blair Levin, who is a non-resident senior fellow at The Brookings Institution and an analyst with New Street Research. We also spoke with veteran tech and telecom analyst Jack Gold.  



They told Fierce that another Trump term could mean big changes for BEAD, AI and even cloud computing costs.  



Here’s what they had to say about the issues they’re watching.
