  WEBCAST JAN 18 – Regulating the Internet Ten Years after the SOPA/PIPA Blackout 

  On Tuesday 18 January 2022 at 11:00-12:30 EST (16:30-17:30 UTC) the Institute for Technology Law & Policy at Georgetown Law hosts a webinar ‘Regulating the Internet Ten Years after the SOPA/PIPA Blackout‘. Calls to regulate the internet more strictly are now commonplace, but a new report from Freedom House observes both the promise and peril of internet regulation. The global drive to control big tech thus carries a seeming contradiction: it can be an expression of democracy but can also support authoritarianism. On the tenth anniversary of the blackout of Wikipedia, Google, Reddit, and Mozilla in response to proposed internet regulation in the U.S., we ask what we learned from the SOPA/PIPA debates, take stock of where internet regulation stands today, and ask what internet regulations carry the most promise or risk today.

  OPENING CONVERSATION
  Jimmy Wales, founder, Wikipedia

  PANEL
  Rebecca MacKinnon, Vice President, Global Advocacy, Wikimedia Foundation
  Allie Funk, Senior research analyst for technology and democracy, Freedom House
  Vivek Krishnamurthy, Samuelson-Glushko Professor of Law, University of Ottawa
  Konstantinos Komaitis, Independent Internet Policy consultant / Policy Fellow, Brave New Software Foundation

  HOST / MODERATOR
  Anupam Chander, Scott K. Ginsburg Professor of Law and Technology, Georgetown Law

  This event will be simulcast via a partnership with the Internet Society Washington DC Chapter

  WEBCAST TODAY: COPPA at 20: Protecting Children’s Privacy in the New Digital Era @GtownTechLaw 

  Today, Wednesday October 24 2018 at 12:15pm EDT (16:15 UTC) the Georgetown Law’s Institute for Technology Law & Policy will co-host a half-day conference COPPA at 20: Protecting Children’s Privacy in the New Digital Era on the 20-year legacy of the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and how to protect children’s privacy in the new digital era. Two decades of digital advances have dramatically changed the ways in which children interact with the internet, and the way big data is collected. How well are COPPA and regulators keeping up with challenges to children’s privacy and wellbeing? What are key questions that remain around the interpretation of the law? And what lessons can COPPA provide around novel approaches to self-regulation, the enforcement landscape and the future of broader privacy regulations? Speakers include FTC Commissioner Rebecca Slaughter and Senator Ed Markey. The event will be simulcast on the Internet Society Livestream Channel.

  VIDEO: Completing the #IPTransition @GeorgetownCBPP 

  On June 24 2015 the Georgetown Center for Business and Public Policy hosted a symposium Completing the IP Transition: Confronting Technical Challenges and Maximizing Consumer Benefits. Given the premise that too little attention has been paid to either the underlying technical challenges or new consumer value of the the transition of today’s analog telephone network to the all-IP infrastructure of the Internet, participants considered the principle that reaching finish line requires policymakers and stakeholders to understand better the remaining engineering hurdles inherent in the on-going process, as well as the benefits that can be fully realized only with full implementation. The session comprised a keynote and two panels that explored these facets, technical and social. Video is below.

  Keynote: Henning Schulzrinne, Professor, Columbia University and former Chief Technologist, Federal Communications Commission
  Introduction: John Mayo, Professor of Economics, Business and Public Policy, Georgetown University and Executive Director, Georgetown Center for Business and Public Policy

  THE NATIONAL BROADBAND PLAN: One Year Later – DC 3/18 #broadband 

  The Columbia Institute for Tele-Information (CITI) and Georgetown University’s Communication Culture and Technology Program will present a one day confrence THE NATIONAL BROADBAND PLAN: One Year Later at Georgetown University in Washington, DC on Friday, March 18. Details as to the agenda and location will be available soon. Please save the date.

  The FCC’s National Broadband Plan was released on March 16, 2010. It laid out a number of ambitious long-term goals, including that 100 million US households would have affordable access to 100mbps broadband service within a decade and that the US should be the world leader on mobile broadband innovation with the fastest and most extensive wireless networks of any nation. After a year, is the Plan “on track”? What is the state of broadband in America in 2011? What has been accomplished and what are the major next steps in the implementation of the Plan? Have any of the facts, circumstances and analyses that underlie the NBP changed in such a way that the Plan itself needs to be amended? How will the Plan be administered and updated over the next decade?
