Conferences
The Internet and the migration from analog technologies to a broadband digital environment continue to raise difficult technological, business, and policy questions. Over the past several years, Silicon Flatirons has hosted a number of stellar speakers to address such issues, including Michael Powell, FCC Chairman; Kathleen Abernathy, FCC Commissioner; Craig Mundie, Microsoft Chief Technology Officer; Fritz Hollings, Senate Commerce Committee Chairman; Michael Gallagher, Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Communications and Information; Lawrence Lessig, Stanford Law Professor and Author; the CEOs of Level 3 Communications, Qwest Communications, Comcast, and Time Warner Telecom; and two heads of the Justice Department's Antitrust Division. Upcoming conferences also promise to be a big success. Please mark your calendars now to avoid missing these exciting events.

Wednesday, September 8, 2010, 1:00 - 6:30 PM
Wireless broadband has arrived. Looking back a decade from now, 2010 may be seen as a watershed year, when wireless broadband proved its ability to deliver Internet connections in the United States at a speed and quality approaching or even exceeding the prevalent wireline alternatives. The entry of wireless broadband could, therefore, have a profound impact on the economic structure of the communications marketplace and on the evolution of Internet-based business models.

The Internet ecosystem - consisting of network providers, application developers, content creators and end users - continues to be a source of disruptive innovation. It provides enormous benefit to consumers everywhere while continuing to present significant challenges to existing business models and to policymakers and regulators. Silicon Flatiron's 2011 Digital Broadband Migration Conference, entitled "The Dynamics of Disruptive Innovation," will focus on the sources and nature of these disruptive advances, how they can be nurtured rather than stifled, and how any negative consequences for consumers can be minimized or averted.
