I am still reeling from the 3D TV’s at CES, and on my way to another meeting, so this will be … concise.
1. Good FCC session at MIT’s Media Lab coming up on Wednesday 1/13 at 4:30pm:
“Innovation, Investment, and the Open Internet.” Terrific civil servants Sharon Gillett (Chief, Wireline Competition Bureau) and Paul de Sa (Chief, Office of Policy and Planning) of the FCC are presiding; panelists include academics, investors, Tim Berners-Lee, businesspeople in gaming, caching, and mobile apps, and telecom execs. More sessions coming.
2. Comments to the FCC about its net neutrality NPRM are due Thursday at midnight. Make your voice heard.
3. Common view is that the D.C. Circuit will find that Title I “ancillary jurisdiction” has been stretched too far – question is, who will act when to do what? Seems like the moment for the FCC to open up questions for wide comment about the regulatory classification of high-speed Internet access services.
More when I reach some fixed location.
Hi Susan. Would be grateful if we could talk more about net neutrality. I can be reached at kangc@washpost.com. Thanks very much.
