How ironic not o provide live captioning for deaf people ESP that presentation is by a hard of hearing speaker! Internet cannot be open and universal unless its fully accessible for users with disabilities!
In fact, unfortunately, we were not able to get a coherent feed out of Chennai at all for this one, let alone live captioning! Hopefully recorded video is coming, which I shall attempt to get transcribed.
On Wednesday February 6 2013 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) held a Workshop on Network Resiliency at Brooklyn Law School. Organized by Henning Schulzrinne, the FCC’s Chief Technical Officer, the workshop focused on the lessons learned from both 9-11 and Superstorm Sandy. It was a full day event. The venue, Brooklyn Law’s Forchelli Center, afforded sweeping views of New York Harbor, which brought an added piquancy to the proceeding.  The event was webcast via the Internet Society Chapters Webcasting Channel with real-time captioning.
There are two more area FCC hearings the day before, specifically.on the effects of Sandy. One is in the morning at Bowling Green, and the other in the afternoon in Hoboken. They will be webcast. Details: http://www.fcc.gov/events/superstorm-sandy-field-hearing

On Thursday September 20 2012, the Internet Society’s Washington DC Chapter (ISOC-DC) will webcast live its discussion “The Elections and Internet Policy“.
The 2012 Presidential and Congressional elections are less than two months away. While Internet policy is not a “hot button†issue, the platforms for both parties devote paragraphs to Internet issues such as Net Neutrality, cybersecurity, and Internet freedom–and there are significant differences.
Join us for a lively roundtable discussion on questions such as: How would Internet policy change in a Romney Administration? What will be the most pressing issues facing the President and the Congress in 2013? If the Republicans win the Senate, will we see new approaches to telecommunications and Internet policy?

The F2C:Freedom to Connect Conference is taking place in Washington DC today and tomorrow May 21-22 2012. Speakers include Vint Cerf, Rebecca Mackinnon, Cory Doctorow, Sascha Meinrath, Susan Crawford, and Eben Moglen.
F2C: Freedom to Connect, inaugurated in 2005, is a conference devoted to preserving and celebrating the essential properties of the Internet. The phrase Freedom to Connect is now official US foreign policy, thanks to Secretary of State Clinton, who said in 2010 “the idea that governments should not prevent people from connecting to the internet, to websites, or to each other. The freedom to connect is like the freedom of assembly, only in cyberspace.â€
