    I hope it is captioned? All events hosted by federal agencies and profitable organizations have to be readily accessible.

  VIDEO: House hearing on Internet Governance legislation #netfreedom #house #wcit 

  On April 10 and 11 2013 the US House of Representives Energy and Commerce Committee Subcommittee on Communications and Technology held a hearing Markup of H.R. __, A Bill to Affirm the Policy of the United States Regarding Internet Governance While a similar resolution (against government regulation and supporting multistakeholderism) passed unanimously at the time of the WCIT last year, this attempt to pass similar language into law met with some opposition, as it might inhibit the FCC’s ability to regulate domestically, for example, net neutrality. The discussion highlighted partisan differences on the issue, but there was consensus that common ground could, and should, be found. Ultimately, it went back to the drawing board. Video is below.

    Further to this, today April 17 2013 the bill was sent to the Full Committee for a vote, the subcommittee having resolved their differences by changing the wording from “promote a global Internet free from government control.” to “”to preserve and advance the successful multistakeholder model that governs the Internet.”

  Video: House hearing on #BTOP grants #broadband 

  On May 16 2012 the House Subcommittee on Communications and Technology held a Hearing on Broadband Loans and Grants, aka BTOP.

  * Henry Waxman Opening Statement  | video

  Witnesses:

  • Larry Strickling,  (NTIA) Testimony | Video
  • Jonathan Adelstein, (RUS) Testimony| Video
  • Todd Zinser,   U.S. Department of Commerce Testimony | Video
  • David Gray, U.S. Department of Agriculture Testimony | video
  • Q&A – video

  Todd Zinser appeared to give the best overview of overall spending and his testimony includes this chart:
  
  (CCI = comprehensive community infrastructure, PCC=public computer centers, SBA=sustainable broadband adoption)

  As can be seen on the chart, infrastructure projects – many held up by environmental or other permit concerns – are lagging in fund uptake. Some may even miss the deadline (Sep 2013).

  The Q&A focused on overspending and fraud on the Dem side, and more existential questions from the GOP side.
