A productive couple of days in Cartagena advancing U.S. priorities on digital policy.
From the EU–CCLATAM High-Level Roundtable at #ANDICOM2026 and the Colombia Digital Policy Dialogue to meeting with U.S. Chargé d’Affaires Hugo Guevara, I appreciated the opportunity to discuss the benefits of satellite connectivity and direct-to-device services, the importance of deploying secure and trusted networks, and ways to strengthen spectrum coordination across the region.
Thank you to Colombia’s Communications Regulation Commission for the opportunity to speak at the 21st International Regulatory Workshop in Cartagena.
As communications technologies evolve, our regulatory frameworks must evolve with them.
Good regulation should provide guardrails—not a roadmap.
By encouraging investment, preserving competition, enabling innovation, and strengthening international cooperation, we can help build a more connected, resilient, and prosperous digital future across the Americas. 🇺🇸🇨🇴

After a horrible night the town is heavily impacted: dust, mud, and the smell of gasoline everywhere. Currently people are struggling to find food and especially places to stay,after many have been evacuated from their own homes. Please, anything you can do to help is appreciated
The city of Erfurt offers a wonderful mix of Renaissance and half-timbered buildings, not to mention the cathedral and churches. There are plenty of activities to make your stay a memorable one, from beer gardens by the river and live music in a traditional Thuringian pub.
