FCC To Propose New Network Neutrality Rules

Network Neutrality

The FCC will be unveiling new rules on network neutrality at a presentation for The Brookings Institution tomorrow.  This is a very exciting development for the protection of consumer rights on the Internet.  It was also a major plank of President Obama’s technology platform.  We should all be watching the outcome of this important development.

The top U.S. communications regulator plans to unveil proposals Monday for ensuring Web traffic is not slowed or blocked based on its content, sources familiar with the contents of the speech said on Friday.

Federal Communications Commission Chairman Julius Genachowski will announce plans to ask his fellow commissioners to adopt as a rule net neutrality and four existing principles on Internet access issued by the agency in 2005, one of the sources said.

UMITA Conference

As the IT Director for the NC Methodist Conference I belong to the United Methodist Information Technology Association (UMITA).  We meet once a year and discuss issues affecting technology and the United Methodist Church.  This year’s meeting will be held next week in Norcross, GA.  I will be presenting on why churches need a web presence and how to get one established.

I covered this topic with my coworker Derek Leek at annual conference a few months ago and have built off of the same materials.  This presenation will focus exclusively on using open source software and free online tools to accomplish the job.  No church should have to spend lots of money to create their place online.

I am looking forward to seeing old friends again and catching up with the other conferences.  It will be interesting to see and hear about their current issues.
