Subject: [isoc-ny] Broadband events @NYU | Tim Wu, Rushkoff videos
Alright now, plenty of action this week - a top speaker on Internet
Architecture at NYU Law tomorrow, TiM Wu's ongoing launch of his new book
'The Master Switch', and next Wednesday sees an ISOC-NY discussion - on
radical approaches to broadband - that will also be webcast live.
Plus Video of last week's Computers & Society Rushkoff talk "Program or Be

TALK ON INTERNET ARCHITECTURE, INNOVATION AND NETWORK NEUTRALITY AT NYU,
NOV 10
Barbara van Schewick, Associate Professor of Law at Stanford Law School and
Director of Stanford Law School's Center for Internet and Society, will
discuss her recently released and widely praised book, Internet Architecture
and Innovation, at NYU Law School on Wednesday Nov 10 2010.
When: Wednesday, November 10, 2:30pm-3:30pm.
Where: Vanderbilt Hall, Room, 216 NYU Law School, 40 Washington Square
South, NYC
Who: ISOC-NY community welcome. Photo id required.
Professor Marvin Ammori has described the book as "essential reading for
anyone interested in Internet policy-and probably for anyone interested in
the law, economics, technology, or start-ups". The book analyzes how the
Internet's internal structure, or architecture, has fostered innovation in
the past; why this engine of innovation is under threat; why the "market"
alone won't protect Internet innovation; and which features of the
Internet's architecture we need to preserve so that the Internet continues
to serve as an engine of innovation in the future.
Whether you are tired of or confused by the network neutrality debate, or
simply wondering what is at stake, van Schewick's talk will be refreshing
and illuminating.

ISOC-NY EVENT: BUILDING TOMORROW'S BROADBAND NOV 17 2010
Discussion of Net Neutrality has often involved policy discussions about
regulating or rationing bandwidth as a scarce resource.
On Wednesday, November 17th, ISOC-NY will host a panel with people who are
building tomorrow's broadband infrastructure to create an abundance of
bandwidth that could one day make these issues moot.
Date: Wednesday, November 17, 2010
Time: 7-9 pm
Place: Room 201 Warren Weaver Hall 251 Mercer St NYC (just southeast of
Washington Square)
Webcast: http://livestream.com/isocny

access to the buildin

TIM WU 'THE MASTER SWITCH' OUT NOW!
Columbia Law Professor Tim Wu's new book "The Master Switch: The Rise and
Fall of Information Empires" is out now. In the book Wu extends his Net
Neutrality arguments to their logical conclusion: that a "Separations
Principle" is necessary to preserve communication freedoms.
Video of his launch "pizza party" at Columbia last week:
