Hello and welcome to the launch of my website. This will be the home of some of my thoughts on various issues involving the morphing global communications industries with a special emphasis on spectrum and broadband policy. By way of introduction, my name is Greg Taylor and I am an associate professor in the Department of Communication, Media and Film at the University of Calgary. At various times in my life I have called Toronto, Peterborough, Montreal and Calgary my home. There’s more information available about me on this site if you care to contact me.
The views expressed on this page are mine alone and do not reflect positions of the University of Calgary.
I also want to note that in these posts I will at times disagree with colleagues who work in my field. That should never under any circumstances be seen as a questioning of the quality of their scholarship. Academics who choose to participate in policy development are doing a valuable public service that often goes under-appreciated within wider academic circles. This site is being created in the spirit of public debate and hopes to avoid the toxic elements that can often infect social media.
I don’t know if these posts will find an audience but I will toss them out in the hope of inspiring some discussion.
Gregory Taylor
