End of Discount Prices for F2C!
Only 36 hours left for the special low $295 admission price for F2C: Freedom to Connect. Register here, use Priority Code FOBDL. Prices go up at 12:01 AM on March 1.
New news: James Q. Crowe, one of the great speakers of our industry, one of the great supporters of Internet Freedom, builder of two great Internet infrastructure companies (Level3 and MFS), will speak at F2C: Freedom to Connect!
Another speaker, Ray Gifford, president of the right-wing Progress and Freedom Foundation, has consented to speak with us. He knows he'll be the "away team" so kudos to him for coming! The PFF Blog has long had isen.blog on its blogroll, and occasionally it sends brickbats like, "delightfully dyspeptic," my way. We're still looking for the right format, and perhaps the pepto-bismol, for that session . . .
A third speaker, Rebecca MacKinnon has been recently added. Rebecca is former CNN Bureau Chief for Bejing and Tokyo, and she's recently written an excellent, provocative article in The Nation on the role of Cisco, Yahoo, Microsoft and Google in Chinese government censorship. I wrote more on that here.
F2C will be held in Downtown Silver Spring under an open Wi-Fi Cloud. Within the venue, the beautifully restored AFI Silver Theater, we will have 20 megabit per second symmetrical connectivity provided by a Motorola Canopy link hooked to the Internet by Atlantech Online. thanks to help from Dewayne Hendricks, AFI Operations Manager John Summers and others.
As Cynthia Brumfield at IP & Democracy says, F2C: Freedom to Connect, ". . . shouldn't be missed . . . no other event in Washington will come as close to setting the agenda on critical broadband policy developments as F2C."
