Abstract
The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) is celebrating its fortieth anniversary. It was created to serve as the President’s principal adviser on telecommunications and information policy issues, working closely with the White House, other Executive Branch agencies, Congress, and the Federal Communications Commission. This paper reviews historic milestones from 1978 to 2018 related to NTIA’s long-term impact on legislative and regulatory reform. It also assesses future directions where NTIA can provide meaningful leadership in helping to shape our nation’s twenty-first-century digital policy agenda.
