Why the FCC Can’t Please Anyone – Net Neutrality Blues
This panel examines the recent developments around net neutrality, one of the more misunderstood principles among the crowd of odd phrasings generated within contemporary telecommunications practice and policy. The panel will (1) present the concrete info about net neutrality – what it is and isn’t, and the circumstances that generated the concept to begin with; (2) summarize FCC Commissioner Genachowski’s position, and speculate on why the FCC took the route it did in the wake of the Comcast court decision in 2010 (which blew apart the Commission’s de facto assertion of authority over how industries could manage Internet networks); (3) assess the pros and cons of the FCC approach and also comment on the misinformation that has circulated. The panel will help you figure out whether and why you should care about this policy.

FCC 2.0 and the Next Dot Govs [Cancelled?]
In 2002, FCC.gov won the title of the "Best Federal Government Website." Lots of things have changed since then, but FCC.gov hasn't. At least not yet.
It's been a long time coming, but the FCC.gov will relaunch -- redesigned, reimagined, and rebranded -- by the end of 2010.
This panel will feature the team behind the long-overdue project to talk about their experience turning FCC.gov into a 21st Century consumer resource, soup to nuts.
Making .govs the model for innovation isn't easy. That's why we think it's so important that this story be shared -- not just for open government disciples (though we are), or data geeks (ditto), but for everyone who thinks the Web can and should enable government to better serve and connect America.
