Michael Calabrese is a Senior Research Fellow and Director of the Wireless Future Program at the New America Foundation, a non-profit think tank based in Washington, D.C. As part of the Foundation’s Open Technology Initiative, he develops and advocates policies to improve our nation’s management of the public airwaves and more broadly to promote pervasive connectivity, particularly through more ubiquitous and affordable high-speed wireless broadband access. New America pioneers policies to promote more efficient spectrum use as well as the reallocation of more prime spectrum for open, shared, unlicensed access.

Previously, Mr. Calabrese served as General Counsel of the Congressional Joint Economic Committee, as Domestic Policy Director at the Center for National Policy, and as a counsel at the national AFL-CIO. He is the co-author of three previous books on policy and politics and has published opinion articles in the nation’s leading outlets, including The Atlantic Monthly, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times. Calabrese is a graduate of Stanford Business and Law Schools, where he earned a JD/MBA degree; and a graduate of Harvard College, where he earned a B.A. in Economics and Government.
