Commerce Department transition briefing documents lay out actions, issues and potential conflicts of interest that Wilbur Ross will have to deal with in his first 100 days, assuming he is confirmed to lead the sprawling agency. The documents, which appear to have been prepared for members of Trump's Commerce landing team, shed some light on how the agency is framing a number of issues, including at the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the National Telecommunications and Information Administration. For the first 100 days of the Trump Administration, the document raises the following for NTIA: 1) broadband and two possible bills concerning infrastructure and tax reform, 2) FirstNet, 3) a revision of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, 4) passage of the Mobile Now Act, 5) oversight of Internet governance, and 6) next generation 911 legislation.
