Gerard Voss has spent thirty years in and around technology regulation — advising vendors on export controls and standards compliance, sitting in standards-body working groups, and watching antitrust cases move through Brussels and Washington at the speed institutions move. Few people writing about technology policy have sat on as many sides of the table.
He interviews competition lawyers, trade officials, standards conveners and the policy teams inside the companies they regulate, and he surveys right-to-repair campaigners and industry lobbyists with equal attention. Three decades of those conversations have left him with a fixed habit: read the regulation, not the press release about the regulation.
At DailyTech he covers export controls, antitrust, standards and repairability law, translating dense filings into what they mean for the people who build and buy technology. His pieces name the clause, the docket and the deadline — because in policy, those are the story.
