The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeal’s decision in Comcast v. FCC has opened the door to the appropriate manner by which broadband providers will be regulated. Is Title II once again in the future for information providers? Does Title I permit adequate safeguards for consumers, and for the government? And what of the ‘Third Way’? How well will it meet the needs of broadband providers and users?

- Harold Feld, Legal Director, Public Knowledge
- John W. Mayo, Professor of Economics, Business and Public Policy, Georgetown University, McDonough School of Business
- Cathy Sloan, Vice President of Government Relations, Computer & Communications Industry Association

DC versus SF: A Clash of Vision for Tech Policy Event on Monday, October 28, at 3 p.m. ET
From our friends at TechFreedom:
How do DC and SF think about the future? Are their visions of how to promote, and adapt to, technological change compatible? Or are America’s policymakers fundamentally in conflict with its innovators? Can technology ultimately trump politics?
In the near-term, are traditional left/right divides breaking down? What are the real fault lines in technology policy? Where might a divided Congress reach consensus on tech policy issues like privacy, immigration, copyright, censorship, Internet freedom and biotech?
For answers and more questions, join moderator Declan McCullagh (Chief Political Correspondent for CNET), and a panel of technology policy experts: Berin Szoka (President, TechFreedom), Larry Downes (author, Laws of Disruption), and Mike McGeary (Co-Founder and Chief Political Strategist, Engine Advocacy). This event is co-sponsored by TechFreedom, Reason Foundation, and the Charles Koch Institute.
RSVP here. A live stream will be available here, and you can follow the conversation on Twitter with #DCvSF.
