Who "Wears" a Yellow Highlighter, Anyway?<< Comcast Launches DOCSIS 3.0 Broadband Battle Against…Qwest? | Main | More Attempts at Monetizing Skype >> Doug Williams | April 16, 2008, 03:50 PM The FCC is holding its second public en banc hearing on broadband network management practices at Stanford University tomorrow, April 17. You can see the agenda and list of witnesses here. The good news is that Comcast does not have any employees on the witness list, which means the public may actually get a chance to attend, rather than Comcast’s paid seat holders, who were identifiable at the February en banc hearing in Cambridge, MA by the conspicuous yellow highlighters clipped on to their shirts. Oh yeah, they were also the folks caught napping during the hearing. Interestingly, no broadband service providers are on the witness list, so who’s going to argue against net neutrality? Oh wait, I forgot Martin, Tate and McDowell will be there. For those of us not in Silicon Valley, you can watch a webcast of the hearing at VON TV. Seven hours staring at a 3" box on your PC screen? How compelling is that? That VON TV is streaming the video is interesting in and of itself. Yes, it’s a division of Pulvermedia, widely reported to be in shut-down mode a couple of weeks ago. Could the rumor of its demise be greatly exaggerated, or is it just a slower-than-expected death? |
