Vice Chairs Regulatory, Permits, Legal and Security
Kate Panayotou, GHD & Andrew Lipman, MorganLewis
These sessions will explore multiple aspects, in particular
“Kate and Andy are honored to be chairing the SubOptic session on Regulation. This is a multifaceted discussion of regulatory, environmental, government relations and national security considerations. Even more so than in past years, the multiple layers of regulation impacting the global submarine cable industry has grown more substantial, far reaching, complicated and controversial. We are all aware that these regulations provide hurdles to construction, increase costs and often cause system delays. And, in certain recent cases of global submarine cables, regulatory issues have actually thwarted the development of certain North America to Asia submarine cables. Our panels will explore and analyze these critical issues, offering insights on the future of regulation and how successfully we as industry leaders can successfully overcome these current and future regulatory hurdles. We draw upon a substantial body of knowledge and experience from our industry expert panelists. We believe these discussions will greatly facilitate the ability of the global Submarine Cable industry to become even stronger in the years ahead”
