<br><div class="gmail_quote"><div>The WCIT in Dubai today ends in an impasse, as the the USA, ISOC, and others insist on upholding the "Internet model". Why is it so important? In this talk, 3 weeks ago in the ISOC-NY sponsored Computers & Society series at NYU, venture capitalist Brad Burnham explains the new network paradigm, and the role of regulation therein. Find an hour to watch and listen, and you will be a deal wiser.<br>

<p style="font-size:14px;line-height:1.4em;color:#444444;font-family:"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;margin:0 0 1em 0">The Internet is fundamentally transforming the entire global economy by making it possible for anyone, anywhere to create services quickly and inexpensively and reach a global market immediately. The Internet has opened up markets and unleashed innovation at a scale never seen before. But now that freedom to innovate is being threatened.</p>
<p style="font-size:14px;line-height:1.4em;color:#444444;font-family:"Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;margin:0 0 1em 0">A year ago, internet users fought back spectacularly to fend off PIPA and SOPA-- two pieces of overreaching copyright legislation—and sent a clear message to policy makers that a frontal assault on Internet freedoms would not work. But no user can track all of the regulatory efforts to limit Internet freedom being put forward in international treaties, state capitals or municipal ordinances. Brad provides a model for evaluating the many efforts to "civilize" the Internet from the perspective of who is really helped and who is harmed by each new regulation.</p>
