The crew at the Congressional Internet Caucus are assembling an excellent line-up for their annual State of the Net Conference on January 30 in DC. And, I say this not only because I happen to be moderating a panel on Internet video policy.
Come to this and grab your self a piece of gab pie chock full of copyright, spectrum, privacy and broadband policy. The POTUS 2.0 panel promises to be very interesting. It will be a first discussion about how the next president should approach tech policy and will have reps from the McCain and Obama campaigns.
The current agenda and panelists are after the jump... My panel is close to being finalized, but let me know if you have a genius suggestion that we can't pass up. And, hope to see you in DC for this...

I hope there will be a discussion at some session about defining broadband: minimum up and download speeds.
DSL speeds should not be considered broadband. This makes it appear to have a wider reach of "broadband" when DSL is included.
Kentucky is a great example of how the state is touted as having wonderful broadband coverage, when in fact, they may have only one DSL subscriber in one Zip Code.
ConnectKentucky.com is calling that a success. They also say the are the "model" for the U.S.
