Join us Tuesday, November 13, 2012 at 10:30 a.m. for the first in a series of three roundtables exploring “Tech Policy in 2013.” Is technological change rendering obsolete traditional silos of regulation within and between regulatory agencies? How might Congress change the institutions and regulatory paradigms governing the Internet? Where can a divided Congress forge compromise in tech policy? Each roundtable will explore these questions from a particular starting point reflecting the expertise of the panelists. Tuesday’s roundtable will begin from the view of traditional communications law and focus in large part on policy developments at the FCC. Two additional roundtables (dates to be announced) will feature experts in, respectively, competition and privacy law.
Tuesday’s roundtable, co-hosted by TechFreedom and the Competitive Enterprise Institute , will begin at 10:30 a.m. sharp with coffee and mingling starting at 10 a.m. TechFreedom President Berin Szoka will moderate a panel including:
- Fred Campbell , CEI’s Communications Liberty and Innovation Project
- Ray Gifford , Wilkinson Barker Knauer, LLP
- Gigi Sohn , Public Knowledge
- Danny Weitzner , Decentralized Information Group at the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab
