FCC Chairman Genachowski announced on May 6 that he intended to pursue a "Third Way" between the current "ancillary authority" approach and full imposition of Title II "telecommunications service" obligations on Internet providers. Just what does this approach mean for the future of broadband competition, Internet-based innovation, and the National Broadband Plan? At this non-partisan event, legal experts and former senior policy-makers will analyze how the U.S. arrived at this point, and what steps the FCC and other branches of government should take now. > Session 1: The History and Context of the Debate > - Moderator Kevin Werbach (The Wharton School, Univ. of Pennsylvania) > - John Nakahata (Partner, Wiltshire & Grannis; former Chief of Staff, FCC) > - Jessica Rosenworcel (Sr. Counsel, Senate Commerce Committee) > - John Windhausen (Telopoly; former Sr. Counsel, Senate Commerce Committee) > Session 2: The Third Way - What Happens Next? > - Moderator Kevin Werbach (The Wharton School, Univ. of Pennsylvania) > - Yochai Benkler (Harvard Law School) > - Susan Crawford (Univ. of Michigan Law School) > - James Speta (Northwestern University Law School) > A complimentary continental breakfast will be served. > Please direct all questions to Amar Ashar at ashar@cyber.law.harvard.edu. > > > ------------------------------------------- Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/247/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/247/ Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com ----- End forwarded message -----
