  Today, Wednesday March 2 2016 at 9am EST (14:00 UTC) Columbia Journalism School will present The Dark Web and Its Secrets – a Master Lecture by Dr. Christopher White. Regular search engines only index 4% of the Internet. The rest is a private virtual space where some people move in complete anonymity to achieve both positive and criminal ends. Dr. Christopher White, creator of the first tool to index those hidden places, will take us to a journey to the dark web and its secrets and the ways in which journalists can use this open source software to investigate crimes. The talk will be streamed live on the J-School YouTube Channel.

  VIDEO: Preserving #Broadband Network #Privacy @publicknowledge @oti @cdt 

  On February 17 2016, Public Knowledge and the Open Technology Institute at New America hosted a discussion panel Preserving Broadband Network Privacy in Washington DC. For decades, consumers have been protected by privacy rules at the FCC that protected them from the one company with access to all of their communications: their phone company. When the FCC reclassified broadband as a Title II common carrier service, it gave forbearance to these phone network privacy rules when it came to broadband. And yet, FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler has expressed interest in beginning work on creating appropriate privacy rules for broadband, the essential communications network of this century. Are such rules needed and what would the look like? What is special about broadband networks that the FCC needs to take action to ensure privacy over them? How does network privacy fit into the broader landscape of privacy policy? Panelists: Harold Feld, Public Knowledge; Sarah Morris, Open Technology Institute at New America; Erik Stallman, Center for Democracy & Technology; Mary Sisak, Alarm Industry Communications Committee. Moderator: Chris Lewis, Public Knowledge. Video is below.

  VIDEO: #IotNY 28: A Decentralized, Open IoT- The Things Network @thethingsntwrk 

  On January 29 2016 the IoT NY meetup presented IoT NY #28: A Decentralized, Open IoT – The Things Network. Wienke Giezeman, Johan Stokking introduced The Things Network, a decentralized, community-owned and built IoT data network. The technology uses LoRaWAN and allows for things to connect to the internet through low-cost gateways that can connect up to 10.000 devices in a radius of 5km. It features low battery usage, long range, and low bandwidth, so is a great fit for sensor data. Their manifesto states that the network is open. Any work created in the community will be open sourced. The Things Network is set up in a decentralized way to not have any single point of control or failure. Nothing is centralized or owned by the founders. The Things Network started only 6 months ago and is already active in more than 50 cities around the world. Video is below

  @INTERNETSOCIETY AND OTHER ONLINE EVENTS THIS WEEK #isoccf2016, #GenevaEngage, #beyondthenet, #opengov #civictech unconference 

  The next 3 days January 26-28 2016 provide multiple opportunities for Internet Society members to participate in online events. First and foremost is our Q1 Community Forum on Wednesday, where Kathy Brown will define 2016 as the Year of Member Action, and there will be briefings by top ISOC staff as toward what issues that action might be directed. Of course some actions cost money, so on Thursday there will be two Beyond the Net Info Sessions, which will educate on the processes by which Chapter and Member Projects can be funded.

  On Tuesday our GIP colleagues will provide their monthly Digital Watch Internet Governance Update, looking forward at 2016. On Wednesday and Thursday they will mount a major conference on e-Participation – Geneva Engage – focusing on the practicalities of running connected events, and ISOC’s own Todd Tolbert will weigh in with lessons learned from the production of ISOC’s massive InterCommunity event in 2015.

  New online tools are changing online collaboration for the better. Already ISOC has adopted Zoom as its conference platform of choice. Many of us are also using Slack within our teams. So lastly, on Thursday, for those interested in seeing how far such tools can take us, there will be a big OpenGov & CivicTech Online Unconference using both Slack and Zoom, and also QiqoChat.

      Hi Adam,

      It is an ambition of mine to post media digests on a more frequent and regular basis. I’m working on getting it into my workflow. Certainly posting separate items is a bit of a chore and fills people’s inboxes. I trust you have joined ISOC-NY and thus are on our announce list.

  WEBCAST TODAY: A Legislative Hearing on Four Communications Bills #SubCommTech #broadband 

  Today Wednesday January 12 2016 the U.S. House of Representatives Energy & Commerce Committee’s Subcommittee on Communications and Technology is holding a hearing A Legislative Hearing on Four Communications Bills. The four bils under review are

  • H.R. 1301, the Amateur Radio Parity Act, authored by Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) instructs the Federal Communications Commission to adopt rules to protect the rights of amateur radio operators to use amateur radio equipment. In general, communications equipment is recognized under current law as having a societal benefit in providing access to information. Land use restrictions imposed by governments or homeowners associations on other communications equipment is currently protected by FCC regulations. H.R. 1301 instructs the FCC to adopt similar regulations for the use of amateur radio equipment.
  • H.R. 2666, the No Rate Regulation of Broadband Internet Access Act, also authored by Kinzinger, would prevent the FCC from regulating the rates charged for broadband Internet. The FCC’s Open Internet Order reclassified broadband under Title II, giving the FCC the ability to regulate rates in two distinct ways: tariffing and through declarations of what are “reasonable” rates. FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler has stated that the Open Internet Order is not about regulating rates, and as such, the FCC used its authority to avoid applying the tariff authority to broadband. However, that still leaves the FCC free to regulate broadband through its enforcement authority. H.R. 2666 holds future FCC chairmen to this commitment by preventing rate regulation of broadband by statute.
  • H.R. 2669, the Anti-Spoofing Act, authored by Reps. Grace Meng (D-NY), Leonard Lance (R-NJ), and full committee Chairman Emeritus Joe Barton (R-TX), extends the provisions of the Truth in Caller ID Act of 2009 to text messaging. The legislation also addresses the growth of services that allows a user to knowingly transmit misleading or inaccurate caller identification information by adding a definition of “spoofing service,” to the Truth in Caller ID Act. The full House approved the Anti-Spoofing Act by voice vote in 2014.
  • H.R. ____, the Small Business Broadband Deployment Act, authored by subcommittee Chairman Walden would make permanent the FCC’s temporary exemption from the enhanced disclosure rules for small businesses required by the commission’s Open Internet Order.

  @Motherboard’s @mattbraga interviews Vint Cerf about the #InternetofShit @CHSCanada #GetConnectedEvent @vgcerf 

  Matt Braga of Vice Motherboard Canada interviewed Vint Cerf at the Canadian Hearing Society (CHS) Get CONNECTED: Social Interactive Event in Toronto in September 2015. Despite the video’s title – Vint Cerf and the Internet of Shit - and as might be expected given the event’s theme, the topics were mainly access and connectivity. Video is below, and as also might be expected given the organizer, it has closed captions.
