Last minute addition to the schedule for tomorrow’s event at Heritage on digital television: Ken Ferree, former FCC media bureau chief, and–until last week–COO of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Ferree led the Commission’s DTV efforts during the Powell era, and is known for his outspoken views (of broadcasters: “They’d rather eat their children than give up their spectrum.”)
Ferree joins Tom Hazlett of George Mason University, Peter PItsch of Intel, former Ass’t Attorney General Chuck Cooper and New American Foundation senior fellow Jim Snider in what promises to be quite an interesting discussion. Stop by if you can, or watch it on the Internet. Details here.
