Hi Dave - For IP if you wish. On Dec 10, 2008, at 4:17 PM, David Farber wrote:
I am "amused" by the notable lack of sny technologist among the speakers or discussants. One of the failings of the FCC has been its inability to develop a knowledge balance on its staff and leadership between law/economics and technology even though many of its problems revolve about technological innovations. I would claim that unless this is addressed we will not have any meaningful reform of the FCC.
Heh. Well I have no K-street connections nor fancy conference centers to fill, so I'm forced to use the Internet. I published 5 proposals which were sent to change.gov, the last one being sort of relevant to your FCC comments.
http://public.resource.org/change.gov/You'll note most of my focus is on the GPO as I think that is actually a key agency if we are serious about transparency coming, at least partly, from government as a more effective and systematic publisher of its own works. But, I couldn't resist trolling for mail from amateur radio aficionados with the rural internetification proposal.
