The Federal Communications Commission’s Communications Security, Reliability, and Interoperability Council will hold its fourth meeting.
We will discuss the need to update both the Communications Act and the agency that implements that Act -- the Federal Communications Commission. As our research has demonstrated, given the economic complexities of the broadband ecosystem and the often conflicting social goals of telecom policy, this task is easier said than done. To explore this important topic in detail, please join us for an evening of excellent conversation, good cheer and cigars.
Privacy Law Scholars Conference (PLSC) aims to assemble a wide array of privacy law scholars and practitioners from around the world to discuss current issues and foster greater connections between academia and practice. It will bring together privacy law scholars, privacy scholars from other disciplines (economics, philosophy, political science, computer science), and practitioners (industry, legal, advocacy, and government). Our goal is to enhance ties within the privacy law community and to facilitate dialogue between the different parts of that community (academy, government, industry, and public interest).
Whether your interest is in preserving Internet freedom and opportunity, changing the economic power structure, new challenges for cyberlaw, or just turning the tables on privacy-violating business models and practices, there will be plenty to hear and discuss at Doc Searls' talk, "The Intention Economy: When Customers Take Charge" — also the title of his new book from Harvard Business Review Press.
The FCC Technological Advisory Council proposed a new work agenda for the 2012 year at the last meeting held on March 28, 2012.

At its June 15, 2012 meeting, it is expected that the CAC will consider a recommendation from its Broadband Working Group regarding the Global Public Inclusive Infrastructure Initiative. The Committee will also consider two recommendations from the Committee’s Consumer Empowerment Group regarding text spamming and third party wireless shutdowns. In addition, four recommendations from the Media Working Group regarding political advertising, spectrum, the Emergency Alert System, and privacy will be considered.
"The Future of Internet Economics" will highlight existing research on the economics of broadband and will address such topics as how changing bandwidth consumption patterns could impact future business models, how such changes could affect content creation, and what role, if any, the government should play as the industry grapples with these changes.
The goals of this workshop are to provide a venue for discussion of the NCCoE public-private partnership structure, and to describe and gather input from individual participants on possible case studies that are expected to form a central focus of collaborative efforts.
