Dr. Hedblom is a professor, lawyer, and consultant. She currently is the

She also has been an international communications fellow with the Center
for Strategic and International Studies.
In 2002 she served as executive coordinator of the World Summit on the
Information Society, a United Nations Summit, located in Geneva,
Switzerland. She has worked extensively in the United States, Europe, and
Asia as an expert and consultant on a wide range of telecommunications and
information policy issues.
Her consulting practice includes a varied list of local, state, national
and international clients in both private and public sectors. She tends to
work in the space where innovation occurs. Her consulting work covers
telecommunications, broadband and Internet issues in community broadband
development, entry of new services, private/public network collaboration
agreements, consumer and user needs, digital issues in pubic safety, health
care, and education, among others. Suggestions for program topics are
regularly proposed by program participants and reflect current and
prospective public policy and industry developments in technology,
legislative and regulatory arenas. It is the policy of the Forum to invite
representatives of diverse interests and viewpoints to participate in Forum
programs. The Forum is convened by the Director and moderated either by the
Director or a guest moderator. When the Director moderates a program and
has a current consulting relationship with a program participant, that is
announced at the program and noted on the website.
