Forget blogs and podcasts. The Free State Foundation and the Institute for Policy Innovation are hosting a good old-fashioned teraspace policy conference this Tuesday, October 30 in Washington D.C. Titled the “Federal Unbundling Commission?” (you can do the acronym on your own), the theme of the half-day event is the FCC’s penchant for unbundling communications services — from broadband to telephony to television. With Sen. Jim DeMint, Rep. Marsha Blackburn and FCC Commissioner Deborah Tate on the agenda, it promises to be an interesting and informative morning. (I’m also on the agenda, but try not to let that deter you.)
Hope to see you there. Click here to RSVP.
