Legislating for the Global Good: How We Can Help Lawmakers Understand the Internet
The internet is bigger than television, more important than the printed word, and more vital than paper currency. Businesses live or die depending on whether their connectivity functions properly. Nation-changing political movements rise up on the flow of electrons managed by companies like ours. What we do is literally vital to the health and well-being of humanity -- and that's why it is so important that our law-makers understand it better. This session will ask - and and our panel of key legislative decision-makers will hopefully answer a range of important questions: how can we influence decision-makers to weigh decisions on whether they are good or bad for the Internet and its foundational industries? How can we raise public awareness about the benefits of new technologies? In short, how can we foster growth within the Internet infrastructure industry by driving others to harness the Internet's full potential? Join us for this challenging panel discussion, and bring your questions with you - we expect the discussion to be lively!
