[governance] RE: The mobile/wireless grid - or is it ambient? - world

[Lee W McKnight]

On Ian's note...

Bob Frankston will be speaking on 'Towards Ambient Connectivity' Friday 1.28 9:15-9:35am est. 

Bob's the coinventor of electronic spreadsheets and home nets, who doesn't see why 19th century regs should constrain access to - connectivity - in 21st Century.

Context is our rather geeky 'Wireless Grid Innovation Testbed' meetings of the WiGiT Virtual Organization led by Syracuse and Virginia Tech; tip of cap to Derrick and American U for facilitating remote participation.

Info on WiGiT at: http://wglab.

IGCers are welcome to tune in if interested, assuming space available.

PS: Parminder, you may be alarmed or annoyed ; )  to know that OECD's been a partner for a couple years already, though frankly it just means they know we exist. It's all still early researchy days for our activities to develop new open specifications - for wireless grids. Whose policy or govenrnace implications we explored at:

Subject: [governance] The mobile world

In the context of our discussions about neutrality and the mobile world -

Well worth watching and reading as a commentary on increased mobile use by
the generation who skipped PCs and when straight to mobiles

" I¹ve made clear my belief that we¹re in the midst of a massive global
reinvention. Not just a shift from analog to digital, but a shift from
centralized control to distributed systems. From isolated single user
experiences to a global social fabric. These mobile devices are the of
Gutenberg presses of our generation. "
