<div dir="ltr">In the last couple of weeks the (essentially right wing) anti-Net Neutrality folks have been galvanized by Obama's Net Neutrality dictum. Activities take the form of "debates" where some brave NN advocate is cast into the pit to be savaged. Last week we saw MIchael Weinberg of Public Knowledge <a href="http://isoc-ny.org/p2/7201" target="_blank">at the ITIF</a>, and again this week at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Q2pB6ldfvY" target="_blank">the Free State Foundation</a>, who were bolstered by <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbjgA_drCmQ" target="_blank">a couple of FCC Commissioners</a> . Today's event is a little more evenly matched as Jonathan Baker of American U. and of Marvin Ammori of the New America Foundation step up to the plate.<br><br><br><u></u><div style="direction:ltr;font-family:'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;color:rgb(102,102,102);text-align:center;margin:0px;padding:0px;background:rgb(221,221,221)"><table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" bgcolor="#DDDDDD" style="width:495.200012207031px;background-image:initial;background-repeat:initial"><tbody><tr><td><table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center" style="width:475.200012207031px;padding:10px"><tbody><tr><td><div style="direction:ltr;max-width:600px;margin:0px auto;overflow:hidden"><table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" bgcolor="#ffffff" style="width:476px;text-align:left;max-width:1024px;min-width:320px;margin:0px auto;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><tbody><tr><td><table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" height="8" background="http:/s.wordpress.com/i/emails/stripes.gif" style="width:476px;height:8px;background-image:url(https://ci3.googleusercontent.com/proxy/11QcDxZcDODA8_Zy6SheBzPAnUnq2Wex4YU4AtNFw2U6vkJK-SLbfLrNelvLLXsXQrjcZHdV7FIOlsp_glV2LA=s0-d-e1-ft#http:/s.wordpress.com/i/emails/stripes.gif);background-color:rgb(67,164,208);background-repeat:repeat-x"><tbody><tr><td></td></tr></tbody></table><br><table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="20" bgcolor="#ffffff" style="width:476px"><tbody><tr><td><table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="width:436px"><tbody><tr><td valign="top"><table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="width:436px"><tbody></tbody></table><div style="direction:ltr;margin-top:1em;max-width:560px"><p style="direction:ltr;font-size:14px;line-height:1.4em;color:rgb(68,68,68);font-family:'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;margin:0px 0px 1em"><img border="0" src="http://isoc-ny.org/p2/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/techfreedom.png" alt="Tech Freedom" style="max-width:100%;margin-bottom:12px;clear:both;float:right;margin-left:1em;padding:4px;border:1px solid rgb(204,204,204)">Today <strong>Thursday 20 November 2014 <a href="http://techfreedom.org/" style="color:rgb(37,133,178)" target="_blank">TechFreedom</a></strong>, the <strong><a href="http://www.progressivepolicy.org/" style="color:rgb(37,133,178)" target="_blank">Progressive Policy Institute</a></strong>, and the <strong><a href="http://www.heritage.org/" style="color:rgb(37,133,178)" target="_blank">Heritage Foundation</a></strong> present <a href="http://techfreedom.org/post/102369660044/the-great-net-neutrality-debate-should-the-fcc-ban" style="color:rgb(37,133,178)" target="_blank">The Great Net Neutrality Debate: Should the FCC Ban Paid Prioritization?</a>. A panel will tackle questions: Should the FCC ban paid prioritization, or merely police it? What authority, if any, should the FCC use? Should the FCC “reclassify” broadband as a Title II common carrier service, regulate broadband under Title I using the powers it has claimed under Section 706, or await further Congressional instructions? Speakers: <strong>Marvin Ammori</strong>, Fellow, New America Foundation (@ammori); <strong>Jonathan Baker</strong>, Professor of Law, American University (@jbbecon); <strong>Hal Singer</strong>, Progressive Policy Institute (@HalSinger); and <strong>Berin Szoka</strong>, TechFreedom (@BerinSzoka). Moderator: <strong>Amy Schatz</strong> (Re/code).
