FC: Testifying at FTC hearing on Tuesday on electronic commerce

[Declan McCullagh <declan () well com>]

The Federal Trade Commission has kindly invited me to testify tomorrow at a 
three-day workshop on barriers to electronic commerce. I'm on a panel with 
some pretty smart folks -- including lawyers from eBay and Amazon.com -- so 
I'm not sure what I'll be able to add. (Besides, the FTC's own staff has 
done a good job of describing what states have been doing to get in the 
way.) But I'll give it my best shot. Here's the info:

I have not heard that the event, which lasts three days, will be webcast. 
I'll send out my prepared statement tomorrow.
