Protecting the Connection: FCC Bureau Chiefs on Fraud, Policy and Trust

Trust in communications depends on more than technology. It also depends on clear rules, strong accountability and continued collaboration across the ecosystem.

At the 2026 Somos Summit, taking place November 2-3 at the Capital Hilton in Washington, D.C., Somos is excited to welcome Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Bureau Chiefs to the stage for a discussion on the regulatory priorities shaping the future of trusted communications.

Moderated by Joel Bernstein, VP & Head of US Public Policy & Government Relations at Somos, Protecting the Connection: FCC Bureau Chiefs Discuss Priorities in Fraud, Policy and Trust will feature Joseph Calascione, Bureau Chief of the Wireline Competition Bureau, Eduard Bartholme, Bureau Chief of the Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau and Hunter Deeley, Bureau Chief of the Enforcement Bureau for 30 minutes of candid conversation on the issues shaping the future of communications.

Together, they’ll offer attendees a front-row look at current FCC priorities across enforcement, rulemaking and consumer protection, with a focus on how regulatory action is helping address evolving fraud threats and drive greater accountability across the communications ecosystem.

As fraud tactics continue to evolve, regulatory leadership remains essential to protecting consumers, strengthening confidence and helping ensure every connection can be trusted.
