Industry, Telecommunications, and Commerce

The Industry, Telecommunications, and Commerce (ITC) Program is responsible for assessments on technology and international industrial competitiveness, telecommunications and computing technologies, international trade, industry productivity, and related topics. ITC examines how technology affects the ability of U.S. industry to contribute to a healthy national economy. This includes consideration of the role of technology on competitiveness of U.S. industries in international markets; trade and economic development issues; the changing role of telecommunications and computing technologies in the nation's industry, commerce, and government; the effect of technology on the number and nature of employment opportunities in the U.S. economy; the effects of technological change on jobs and training; and ways to ease adjustments in structural economic transitions brought about by technological change. The Program also studies telecommunications regulation, information policy, and applications of information technology in the public sector.
