Keeping politicians' hands off the Net & everything else related to technology
I’m heading off to the Tech Policy Summit shortly. It’s taking place from Wed-Friday out in LA. Very impressive agenda of speakers and topics, ranging from privacy law, copyright policy, child safety, broadband and spectrum issues, and international competitiveness. I am speaking on a panel on day 2 of the event, but I might try to do some live blogging out there if I have the time.
