F2C: Freedom-to-Connect to Promote Internet Freedom12 March 2006
pulvermedia and isen.com will jointly produce F2C: Freedom-to-Connect from April 3-4 in Washington, DC. This two-day summit will bring business, policy and technology thought leaders to the nation's capital to share their perspectives, insights and wisdom, thus helping to build a better, more complete understanding of how policy and technology might evolve together to create and advance the future of communications and the Internet.
"Our attitude is that there's no time for small meetings and isolated pockets of concern," noted David Isenberg, founder of isen.com, author of the "Rise of the Stupid Network" and co-host of Freedom-to-Connect. "Freedom-to- Connect is intended to provide an opportunity for all those that care about the future of the Internet to join the discussion, to shape the debate, to assert your freedom to connect. For this reason, pulver.com and isen.com, in association with many Internet entrepreneurs, innovators, and advocates, are joining together for Freedom-to-Connect."
"The openness of the Internet is the main reason for its success, yet the Internet's openness is not assured," stated Jonathan Askin, long-time communications policy veteran and General Counsel for pulver.com. "Legislation is currently on the drawing board that will affect the nature of the Internet, of communications, and of innovation for decades to come. Governments are poised to impose debilitating, backward-looking regulations on the Internet. Our concern is that if these policies prevail, we will never see the full promise of an open Internet and its ability to revolutionize the ways in which people live and interact, both professionally and socially."
Askin continues, "The policies shaping the future of the Internet will be written over the next year or two. The rules will certainly grow out of the policy debate currently underway in DC and in seats of government around the world. Unless we -- those enamored by the possibility of the Internet and pushing its technological and operational limits -- engage policy makers and participate in the dialogue, the rules will be written by those who do not necessarily have the best interest of the Internet, its innovators and its enthusiasts in mind. The debate is just now getting more sophisticated and now recognizes the pivotal role of the Internet and IP-based communications to transform the communications experience. It is clear that those that want to evolve the Internet and transform the communications experience must now engage in the battle for net freedom and user empowerment."
