Working Groups As Open MIC explores both traditional and emerging digital media, we intend to call heavily on the expertise of individuals with a depth of knowledge and experience in specific media industry segments or fields of interest, organized into multiple working groups. The Open MIC working groups will research, analyze and make recommendations on best practices and principles in the media industry. These working groups will be integral to the future direction of Open MIC’s program activities as the organization moves forward. If you’re interested in joining Open MIC as a member of a working group, please forward a resume or brief bio to Michael Connor, Open MIC’s Executive Director. |

A smaller piece of a much bigger pie. That’s the very simple, but very powerful, thinking behind much of the latest news in wireless communications in the U.S. It’s helping to create a media environment that’s potentially much more open, diverse and innovative – which would be good news for consumers as well as investors in wireless stocks.
