FCC Hearing at Stanford

I’m honored to have been invited to testify at the FCC Hearing at Stanford later this week. It’s very rare for all five FCC Commissioners to meet outside DC, much less on the west coast, so come along if you have any interest in how public policy will affect the future of the Internet. The focus is ‘broadband network management practices’ like Comcast’s efforts to curb BitTorrent, but public interest groups and policy makers have started to realize that many people access the Internet from their cell phones, and the cell phone companies place far more restrictions on your use of the Internet than any cable company does.

For our thoughts, read our previous posts on public policy.

   i enjoyed your presentation today at the FCC hearing. thank you for calling attention to what’s going on with closed networks and mobile phones in the u.s.
