David Isenberg: Freedom to Connect

Jon Lebkowsky

David Isenberg is founder and coordinator of the annual Freedom to Connect (F2C) conference, held in Washington, DC (actually Silver Spring, Maryland). This year's conference is March 31-April 1 at the AFI Silver Theatre in Silver Spring. The conference, focused on net neutrality and net regulation, is a must-go if you're concerned about the future of the open Internet. JL: "Net neutrality" has always been more complex than public conversations would suggest. As coordinator of the F2C...

David Isenberg: Moyers on The Net at Risk

Jon Lebkowsky

Guest review by David Isenberg. David spent 12 years at AT&T Bell Labs until his 1997 essay,"The Rise of the Stupid Network," was received with acclaim everywhere in the global telecommunications community with one exception -- at AT&T itself! So Isenberg left AT&T in 1998 to found isen.com, LLC (an independent telecom analysis firm based in Cos Cob, Connecticut) and to publish The SMART Letter, an open-minded commentary on the communications revolution and...

Freedom to Connect

Jon Lebkowsky

Day one of David Isenberg's two-day Freedom to Connect conference in DC has ended, and I don't know that we have a handle on "net neutrality" or the larger issue of how we sustain the freedom and openness that has been so much a part of the Internet's architecture and culture throughout its history. Money changes everything, and the Internet is clearly a platform for profitable innovation. As FCC Commissioner Michael Copps pointed out in his opening address, we view the Internet as a place...

Freedom to Connect

Jamais Cascio

David Isenberg's name pops up occasionally here on WorldChanging, and for good reason. He's one of the more forward-thinking telecom specialists around, and his work on whether to embed "intelligence" in a network or in the devices at the end (the latter is far better) has shaped the thinking of many people now working on social networks and the evolution of the Internet. I first met David a decade ago at Global Business Network, and I read his blog at Isen.com religiously. David wrote to me...

Smart Grids, Grid Computing, and the New World of Energy

Jamais Cascio

Moving to a post-fossil energy infrastructure is no small task. Leave aside the politics of the problem for a moment, and look at the logistics: replacing coal, oil and gas-fired power plants with cleaner, renewable technologies isn't simply a matter of unplugging one and plugging in the other. Renewable sources often requires wide spaces to generate useful amounts of power, and need to be situated in areas most conducive to their generation needs (sunny regions for solar, windy for turbines,...

Municipal Wireless, Innovation, and Politics

Jon Lebkowsky

At WorldChanging we talk a lot about leapfrogging, where developing regions or nations can "leap" to higher levels of development bypassing intermediate stages. Leapfrogging can occur where you don't have legacy infrastructures that impose constraints on innovation. For an idea how these constraints can work, check out the battles in states across the U.S. where telcos seek to prevent municipalities from providing broadband services to citizens. These bills are supported by large telecom...

After the Convention: A Call to Action

Jon Lebkowsky

(This is part of a longer piece I just posted in full at Greater Democracy: ....This makes me think about the context for this election: Traditionally the U.S. has had elements on the right (corporate interest above all) and left (public or social interest above all) advocating for either extreme, but actual governance and policy has been relatively well-balanced somewhere near the middle. The GW Bush presidency is the culmination of one extreme's careful strategic work over the last thirty...

Distributed Intelligence on the Highway

Jamais Cascio

Automobile designers love to create "concept cars" -- vehicles which will never actually see the showroom floor, but demonstrate ways in which new technologies or design ideas can be implemented. Sometimes, the concept vehicle just looks like an oddly-muscular version of a modern car or truck, as if the designers were hoping for it to be included in the next Batman movie. And sometimes the concept car looks nothing like anything currently on the road, a design guaranteed to stop traffic. Such...

Rules for Networked Radicals

Alex Steffen

Gary Wolf of Wired is following (and writing a book about) the Dean campaign, and has prepared a brilliant retroactive manifesto for how to grow a collaborative political movement. There are essential ideas here for anyone interested in emergent political possibilities: "Below is a draft of an idea inspired by Rem Koolhaas’s remarkable pseudo-history of Manhattan called Delirious New York. In his book, Koolhaas pretends that Manhattan was designed according to a theory of the modern city....
