Overview
For the first time, the G8 Heads of State explicitly discussed internet policy last month; the OECD is holding a High-Level Meeting to discuss “The Internet Economy” next week; nearly a dozen countries are negotiating a Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement with real implications for online intermediary liability; and this week the Dutch became the first country in Europe to make net neutrality law.
This ACCESS LIVE event, an online live-streamed symposium, will give an overview of recent developments in internet policy, discuss the implications that regulation has had and will likely have on users in the future, and debate what a roadmap to smart and user-centric governance of the net might look like.
Watchitoo is happy to partner and provide hosting to Accessnow.org for the Live Web Symposium.
