Open Technology InstituteToday, Friday Jun 15 2018 at Noon EDT (16:00 UTC), the Open Technology Institute presents Harnessing Satellite Spectrum for Broadband: Will Incumbents Sell, Stay, or Share? At its July meeting, the FCC will examine two proposals to repurpose a portion of the C-Band (3700 – 4200 MHz) that involve clearing the satellite service – mainly used for tv signal distribution – off the lower portion of the band (boosting mobile capacity for 5G) and authorizing shared use of the unused frequencies in the remainder of the band (enabling high-capacity fixed wireless). This event will will open with presentations summarizing the two leading proposals, by Intelsat and Google, respectively, followed by a panel discussion with a variety of stakeholders.

WEBCAST TODAY: Will the Internet Fragment? A Discussion with Milton Mueller @OTI @ISOCDC @miltonmueller #netfrag

by

livestreamToday Tuesday June 6 2017, at noon EDT New America’s Open Technology Institute and the Internet Society Washington DC Chapter present Will the Internet Fragment? a panel featuring Professor Milton Mueller. author, of Will the Internet Fragment?: Sovereignty, Globalization and Cyberspace. In the book, Will the Internet Fragment?, Professor Mueller argues that the fragmentation diagnosis misses the mark, and the rhetoric of fragmentation camouflages the real issue: the attempt by governments to align information flows with their jurisdictional boundaries. The fragmentation debate is really a power struggle over the future of national sovereignty, pitting global governance and open access against traditional territorial institutions of government. This conflict, the book argues, can only be resolved through radical institutional innovations. In order to save the internet, we need to move away from national sovereignty and towards popular sovereignty in cyberspace. PANEL: Dr. Milton Mueller, Professor, Georgia Institute of Technology School of Public Policy; Rebecca MacKinnon, Director, Ranking Digital Rights project at New America; Tim Maurer, Co-director of the Cyber Policy Initiative, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace; Angela McKay, Senior Director of Cybersecurity Policy and Strategy, Microsoft. MODERATOR: Derrick Cogburn, Professor, American University. The event will be webcast live on the New Anerica YouTube Channel, and the Internet Society Livestream Channel.
