Technology & Telecommunications

Outdated laws and regulations impede U.S. technological innovation and deployment that are so vital to the U.S. economy. The U.S. Chamber promotes market-based solutions, policies that foster investment in technology research and deployment, and balanced regulatory treatment of technical platforms.

Additionally, the U.S. Chamber advocates for: workable privacy laws that protect consumers without unduly inhibiting e-commerce, protection of intellectual property rights, and access to international markets.
