A Blueprint for Big Broadband: Moving from Why to How
Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:A Blueprint for Big Broadband: Moving from Why to How (ID: POL08010)
Author(s):John Windhausen, Jr. (Telepoly)
Origin:Presented at Policy Conferences (05/07/2008)
Type:Presentations/Speeches
Abstract:

The United States has fallen behind its international competitors in broadband deployment, price, and openness in part because it has no national broadband policy. In contrast, most other countries adopted proactive programs to address the broadband needs of their citizens at the beginning of the decade that are now proving successful. Several U.S. states are now developing their own broadband plans because of the void at the national level. This session will propose an action plan for the nation based on the lessons learned from Europe, Asia, and some U.S. states and discuss what it will take to get such a plan through Congress.

2007 Policy Conference: Year In Review
Created by Gerry Bayne (EDUCAUSE) on June 05, 2007

The 2007 Policy Conference kicked off with a top-ten style list of Policy Issues currently facing higher education. This entertaining and insightful list was compiled and delivered by Tracy Mitrano, Director of IT Policy and Computer Policy and Law Program at Cornell University. What's past is prologue. As we look ahead to the policy questions facing the Internet today and tomorrow, it's useful to recall what we've seen over the past 12 months. This speech, entitled the Year In Review, runs approximately 33 minutes.

CALEA Update: Higher Ed Reporting Due Dates Announced
Created by Lisa Gesner (EDUCAUSE) on January 03, 2007
Due dates for the two reports that must be filed by higher education institutions that must comply with CALEA (the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act) have now been announced. One report is due on February 12, and the other on March 12. EDUCAUSE has updated its CALEA resource page to describe the reports and provide additional information for those who must file, using attorney Matthew A. Brill, who has consulted on this issue for higher education, for expert advice.
 
It is important to note that not all institutions must file these reports. In fact, according to the earlier recommendations of ACE and EDUCAUSE most institutions do NOT have to comply with CALEA, and do NOT need to file the reports. EDUCAUSE suggests that member institutions’ primary representatives notify their presidents of this situation, since it is not recommended that an institution file the reports unless it in fact must comply with CALEA. For further information on the CALEA resource page.

Net Neutrality As Campaign Finance Reform
Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:Net Neutrality As Campaign Finance Reform (ID: CSD4428)
Author(s):Harold Feld
Origin:Contributed by Organizations or Campuses (2006)
Type:Blogs
Abstract:"It is quite possible that the most important piece of campaign finance reform to pass in 2006 will be Senator Wyden's "Internet Non-Discrimination Act of 2006." Until now the Internet did not require candidates to raise huge amounts of money to pay for the ability to reach voters. Without Net Neutrality, all that changes."
