Susan Crawford: "From Responsive City to Gigabit City" (Day 2 closing keynote)
Broadband connectivity is an increasingly fundamental part of our daily lives. Moreso than cable television or even the telephone, which served respectively as broadcast and communication channels, the Internet connects us to the digital tools that weave into nearly every aspect of our existence. That is a very different context than the one in which our whole Internet management system was created -- things like network ownership, regulatory policy, security, oversight. We are adapting on the fly to a system that grew up under different worlds. How do we adapt so we are most prepared for the future?
Susan Crawford, author of new book The Responsive City, responds to Obama's Cedar Falls speech and adds perspective on the "key social justice issue of our time."
