Background

About Rob Alderfer

I am leading technology policy at Charter Communications, focused on the intersection of engineering and governance at one of the largest communications service providers in the United States. At Charter, we know that communications can have a deep and meaningful impact on the economy and society, and technology development and innovation is at the foundation of our business. We are focused on closing the digital divide, freeing spectrum for wireless services, continuously growing the performance and energy efficiency of our market-leading network, and bolstering the security of the Internet. These are just a few of the areas where Charter's technology policy team is making a difference. Previously, I spent nearly a decade at CableLabs, leading technology policy and strategy. CableLabs is the global R&D consortium of the cable communications industry, and it plays a crucial role in enabling the technologies of the future. I'm grateful to have been part of a consortium that counts Fortune Global 500 companies as its members, and to partner with their senior executives to shape their strategic trajectories. My longstanding professional passion has been to progress communications technology, and I have had the privilege to do that both in the cable industry and in government, at the White House and the FCC.
