[wplug] FCC hearing at CMU

[Patrick Wagstrom]

On July 21, the FCC will hold a hearing at Carnegie Mellon on
broadband Internet issues (or, as you may have hear, net neutrality).  All 
of the Commissioners will be in attendance. This will build on the two 
previous hearings on network neutrality, "reasonable network management," 
etc.  The FCC has not yet made announcements about specific topics to be 
covered, speakers, agenda, etc. Those details will come in July. This 
hearing will be open to the CMU community, and to the public (to the extent 
space permits).  Previous hearings have inspired protests, just to add to 
the fun.

As an FYI, previously Comcast has gotten nailed for paying people to take 
up space in these meetings and chant against network neutrality.  The 
incident at Stanford in April was a bit of a zoo too.  Be part of the zoo, 
come in a monkey costume.
