Empowering the Internet one American at a Time pt 2 (Show Up)

So if you follow some of my writing you know I've blown up the illusion that Net Neutrality will do a thing for any innovative company or individual out there. It's a long story but boils down to the fact that Net Neutrality attempts to weave a regulatory silk purse from the sow's ear of decades of de-regulation.

That's the bad news.

Here's the good news. The FCC just might get this. They may have an inkling that their Net Neutrality rules will come undone on appeal. So they've done two things:

First, they launched an inquiry into whether or not they should consider transitioning from a "circuit switched" to an IP-enabled world. (Hint: we're there; this is about helping them transition).

Second, they've announced a technical workshop. Techies, show up, OK? People from small companies, innovators, broadband, wireless, whatever is your gig - pay attention and get involved.
