Freedom to Connect
Just finished two days at Freedom to Connect - two stimulating, motivating, and educating days. It was good to catch up with some folks I’d not seen in a while, and great to meet a number of really interesting new people. My plan was to recap some of the highlights - Martin Geddes well-constructed argument against net neutrality, the Dave & Doc show, and the rather entertaining James Salter. (Update: Priceless.)
But the Powerbook (with all my notes) simply refuses to work (thankfully, its problems only started at the end of the day), and the onset of sick has robbed me of further enthusiasm for the evening. Manana.

I thought Geddes was right on! Legislation is the worst possible solution at this point, especially considering that there’s no problem to solve. Looking forward to your thoughts.

Here’s a quote from Geddes: “Be careful of inviting the legislative process because the secondary consequences of their [Congress’] actions can be enormous,” he said. “Government has a way of turning on people.” I thought he was right on as well!

Geddes is a wise and old voice on this issue. I hope that his words are heeded and that unnecessary legislation and regulation are not forced upon the creative and free internet.
