Hi Carl,

The U.S. Court of Appeal's reversal of the FCC’s attempts to regulate how Comcast manages its 
network, may taint the National  Broadband Policy and calls to question the FCC's jurisdiction.

Join us  for an audiocast titled  “FCC vs. Comcast: The Roadblock Ahead"
May 25th at 12 :00 noon EDT. 
I have assembled a group of highly astute participants to  address the FCC's future role in governing the
Internet, specifically in light of this recent court reversal.

Audiocast Participants include:

Bram Cohen, CTO and Inventor of Bit Torrent. Bram represents the good of peer to peer 
communication, a system of transmission  linked directly to the application layer. The 
rationale from the FCC seems to leave open a big question about how P2P will be viewed. 

Dave Farber, former CTO of the FCC. Dave, considered by many to be the grandfather of 
the Internet, has history in distributed computing. Today, Dave runs an "Interesting People" 
mailing  list that features some of the most  noteworthy people in the communications 
industry while also teaching at Carnegie Mellon. He has been a voice of reasoned thinking 
when discussions get strident and  people want to bring back old rules that are tired and 
out of place.

Hank Hultquist, Vice President of Federal Regulatory Affairs, AT&T, has been working for years to 
bring effective change to the PSTN, he understands that the regulatory rules applied in the last 
century  are hurting our attempts to bring the network of the future to this century. Hank represents 
AT&T at the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on a number of issues including broadband 
and Internet policy, video and media policy, intercarrier compensation, and universal service. 

Glenn Richards,  Partner, Pillsbury Law and Executive Director of The VON Coalition,  a group of 
wireless, wireline and over the  top operators all promoting the cause of the Internet. The Coalition 
has been dealing with the confusion of old rules trying to be  applied by jurisdictions in the US and 
Europe. Glenn represents VoIP companies, carriers, equipment manufacturers, and trade associations  
in transactional and litigation matters, and before the Federal Communications Commission, 
state public utility commissions and the International Telecommunication Union.    
                                                                                                                        
                                                                                                                        
                                                                                   I will be moderating and managing 
the flow of the audiocast, without guiding the content. You 
can join the call yourself  by filling out this form and dialing  in on the 25th. 

I look forward to your participation on the 25th. Don't forget to register early to receive your dial in instructions.

Kind Regards,
